We’re kind of using a hodgepodge of resources for our homeschool kindergarten and thought I’d put a list together to keep everything organized in case anyone is interested in what we use.

Books

Eating the Alphabet – A fun way to teach uppercase and lowercase letters, plus become familiar with a variety of fruits and vegetables (that your kids probably refuse to eat, haha)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone – We’re using this as a read-aloud book and it has been so fun to experience the book with Wyatt for the first time. And this illustrated edition is such a pleasure to read from.

Teeth, Tails, and Tentacles – An engaging book that teaches number 1-20, plus about a variety of animals.

Winnie the Pooh First Readers – There’s nothing mind-blowing about these books, but for kids who love Winnie the Pooh they’re a great way to get them interested in reading.

Flashcards

Numbers 0-25 flash cards – Really nice, durable flash cards for a great price.

Sight Words Flash Cards – A freebie from sightwords.com. They have lots of different sight word options, plus you can customize how many you want to print per page.

Games

Jumanji – More fun than educational, but the game-play is a little more complicated which gets their brains moving a bit more.

Monopoly Junior – If you’re not quite ready to move up to regular Monopoly, this is a really fun alternative. Kids learn about numbers, money, and how to be a ruthless real estate tycoon. Or maybe that’s just my kid because he MURDERS me at this game. I swear I’m an adult.

Misc. Supplies

Scotch Thermal Laminator – I have an older version of this laminator and I LOVE it. It’s so easy to use and has come in handy for everything from homeschool to parties.

Laminating Sheets – Can’t laminate if you don’t have the sheets!

Sharpie Pens – Hands down my favorite pens. They write super smooth and don’t bleed through paper.

Polyhedral Dice – These are great for math games, plus you get so many you won’t stress if you lose one or two along the way.

Home Learning Year by Year – We’re taking a relaxed approach to homeschooling (at least for now) but I didn’t want to feel totally adrift, so I picked this book up for guidance. It has been a great resource and a lot of help in deciding what what we need to learn this year.

Colored Paper – I find myself pulling this out more than construction paper because of how fun and bright it is.

Glue Sticks – A must-have for all the kindergarten arts and crafts.

Smead Poly Envelopes – These are nice and sturdy for storing worksheets. I even use them to store craft leftovers to keep them organized. I love that they’re clear so you can what’s inside, plus they close so papers won’t fall out.

Online Curriculum

ABC Mouse – We’ve had a lot of success with ABC Mouse. Out of all the resources we use, Wyatt definitely enjoys this one the most.

Workbooks

Bob Books Developing Readers Workbook – Meant to be used in conjunction with Bob Books sets three, four, and five but I’ve found it can be used alone as well.

Mead Preschool Workbook – Our favorite workbook so far. The lessons on each page are clear and concise and covers a ton of topics.

What Your Preschooler Needs to Know – I recommend using alongside the What Your Preschooler Needs to Know Activity Book.

Worksheets

A-Z Handwriting Worksheets – A freebie download from Confessions of a Homeschooler. I laminated them and use a dry-erase marker so we can just erase and practice again.

Farm Printable Pack – Great for writing practice and building up some beginner math skills.

You can also checkout my favorites page on Amazon, where I have up-to-date lists of items we use and love.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey, I'm Trish (and that handsome dude next to me pretending he doesn't want his picture taken is Wyatt). Welcome to my blog! I'm a single, homeschool mom living the introvert life in Southern Michigan. If you're into Chinese food, Netflix, stretchy pants, and leaving the house the least amount possible, we can probably be friends.
