Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Laura from youngwritersworkshops.com and I'm going to talk about developing a homeschooling preschool schedule. It's really important to realize that for preschoolers, movement and using their body and participating with all parts of their, using all of their senses is really important. So when you're making your schedule, really plan very little of the time to be spent in a way where their passively receiving information. Preschool's also a time where social development is just at it's prime. It's very important for kids to play with other kids. That's how all a lot of their learning about what it means to interact and be a part of a a culture comes from. So if possible, if you're a homeschooling preschooler you want to have as many opportunities for interaction with children their age, or similar ages as possible. So creating a schedule where you may have, you may be doing homeschooling, but you're also in a group or a co-op where you have other kids will be really important. So think about things like singing and movement and then intersperse them with some quieter activities such as reading, being read to or doing drawing and painting where your student, your child will be more quiet and a little bit more relaxed. Try, the structured part of your day only needs to be a an hour, a couple hours out of your day because you'll have the rest of the day where you'll be experiencing and learning, but maybe not in this, within the structure of your preschool home school. So again, some things to remember are to use, have your child using their body and their senses in as many ways as they can is part of your home school curriculum and intersperse that with quieter times where they might be being read to or doing quiet hands on activities."
