*PRE-K-4/5 AT HOME*: My Complete 2021-2022 Curriculum
4,067
Published 2021-08-11
From suffering a miscarriage & then a new pregnancy (that was awful) and the recent arrival of our third baby, Lyra May, a lot happened here at the Cozy Cottage! I tend to update my IG acct more often, so if you don’t already, follow @cozy_homeschool for the most recent updates and tips & tricks!
{Fun Fact: When I found out I was pregnant after my 13 week miscarriage, I read this verse and said “God is giving us a NEW SONG!”:
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my fee on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
Psalm 40:1-3
I found the name, Lyra, when my daughter and I were studying constellations in homeschool a year before and loved that it meant “harp/song” and knew this was the perfect name for our rainbow baby! And, her middle name May because she came exactly one year later on the day that I had miscarried. The Lord had redeemed the end of May for us & we knew this was not a coincidence.
Now back to my Pre-K-4/5 curriculum resources that I’m using for Nigel this year. (It’s eclectic this year, but if this is your first year homeschooling I highly recommend trying a Timberdoodle complete Pre-K Kit)
I hope you might find some of this helpful!

I found your channel couple months ago and been waiting for an update. Congrats with your new baby! First year homeschooling my kindergartner. I have a 3 year old that likes doing whatever his sister does but these ideas will help to keep him occupied while I work with my 5 year old. You have so much great info! I got those notebooks too since I saw it in your previous videos. It can be overwhelming but watching your channel helps! Thank you 😊
