How to navigate this site for PreK

Starting your homeschooling journey can be overwhelming enough. I hope this site guide makes it easier to have all the cullinsisd resources at your fingertips. These pictures come from the mobile version of the site but are essentially the same on a computer. To get started go to the PreK tab at the top of the homepage. Click this for the PreK plans for the entire school year. We call this the Scope and Sequence. It will help you see what themes you will be covering each week and how to plan your school calendar so the themes match up with the holidays.

Grow your own Food Project

Where Does our Food Come From?

How to: Wash out inside of cans while keeping the wrapper untouched. Have kids use a nail and hammer to make small drain holes in the bottom of the cans. Fill with seed starter, potting soil, or dirt from the yard. Plant a few seeds (you can thin later) in the correct store labeled can. We did green beans for green beans, tomatoes for diced and stewed tomato cans, pinto beans for Ranch Style bean cans, and peppers in a Rotel can. Place in a tray or saucer (to catch water from the drain holes) and place in a sunny window. Water carefully with a turkey baster. When they grow to size, you can plant them in your own garden or give as a gift to a friend.
