They have a schedule of working through the basics of letters and numbers plus fun themes to explore. But for $10 I just couldn't pass up all this amazing stuff. I am also working through FunShine a little different then it was intended so because of that I feel like sometimes we just brush over a new letter or number. That's when I pull from Confessions of a Homeschooler to fill in and add to. <br />FunShine offers a lot of crafts, deep imaginative play, science ideas, puzzles, physical exercise, rhythm and songs and introduction to numbers and letters. Many of the lessons around the numbers have you count to that number, showing them the number and teaching them the Spanish word (which I love). Lachlan has always been really good at counting though. But really had no idea which written number was which. So this hand on activity where you aren't just shown the numbers but interacting with them in this way has really helped him. The challenge of clipping the clothespins to the number keeps him motivated enough to work through quite a few numbers before he calls it a day. <br /><br />Anyhow, the main question you asked me was which curriculum from Confessions I use. I downloaded the Letter a Week curriculum and this is what I use to fill in and add to FunShine Express. I also have subscribed to the blog because she has new stuff come up all the time. I have started quite a collection of K4 from her site as well.
