Just wanted to know what everyone thought about this for our Pre-K schedule. We have been doing something like this since the end of August and it takes us about 1-1 1/2 hrs to do all this. I was going to do a Main theme each month and have mini themes each week (Month theme: Fall/Thanksgiving, mini themes: apples& pumpkins, thanksgiving, leaves, etc.)
Story Time (T)
Calendar/Weather Time
Song Time
Bible Story Time
Bible Story worksheet/coloring page (M, W)

1-2 letter worksheets (M, T, W, F)
Song Time
1-2 number worksheets (M, W, Th, F)
Alphabet Flashcards (T)

Song Time
1-2 Opposites worksheets (T)
1-2 Shape/Color worksheets (Th)
Activity or Craft Time

To be honest, it doesn't sound like something that I would feel comfortable with. It seems heavy on the age-inappropriate work (flash cards, worksheets, rote memorization...) and not enough discovery or play based work - games, activities, etc. Littles thrive when they have more than one sense involved in their learning experiences, or when it's all integrated. Writing and sitting so much isn't an age appropriate skill yet.
