I wrote Catholic ABC's when Lydia was 3, and have been using it with my preschoolers ever since. It is a letter-of-the-week style preschool, so each week we focus on just one letter of the alphabet. On top of the lessons that are included in Catholic ABC's, I usually try to embellish the letter.

This happens each week … [Read more...]

Catholic ABC's Week: 6 Letter of the week: A Theme: Angels Saint of the Week: St. Anthony Craft: "A" is for Angel Craft Sometimes when I do Catholic ABC's with a homeschool co-op, I like to do the handprint angel craft on a canvas bag with all of my preschoolers for the first class.
