homeschooling the preschooler

Can I announce right here and right now that I have never formally homeschooled a preschooler?  All of my children attended public preschool in one form or another... sure we did arts and crafts, and I read to them all, and we went on excursions and I delighted in their wonder.

but to sit down and actually figure out how to teach my youngest, who i really think is going to teach me a lot more than I am going to teach her?  its unnerving.

Princess Butterfly is ready to move forward.  She loves to learn and I need to get started here.  We have a speech therapist and she is wonderful, so I took her cue and borrowed some books from the library about teaching preschool curriculum and am gleaning a lot from that. 

if you have any sites that would help me, please let me know.  Thanks!

Two sites

One not:

These are two resources that we use and love. Of course, it really depends on what you are looking for. Praying God grants you wisdom--there are so many choices out there!

Warmly,
Elizabeth

we liked "joy school" - it is more geared to a group of moms doing it, but you could do it yourself.
