Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Sounds great! I just finished a 3yr old year and other hits were:

stringing beads
all pouring/scooping/tweezing/sorting activities
is it magnetic? box
life cycle cards for frog and butterfly and plant
seasons (we still need to work on)
counting
where does it live? animal sort...I had three pictures of a jungle, ocean, and farm and lots of little toy animals to sort

Yes, sounds like wonderful 3-year-old ideas for the year!!

I'd add getting outdoors, digging, exploring.

Here is a great thread from a couple months ago with some fun ideas:
Favorite Things to do with 3-year-old

And, I was just reading through some of these tonight and wanted to link here: Lori's series of posts for Toddlers/early Pre-school

That sound wonderful!

Have you thought to include formal lessons on practical matters?

Such as, carrying a glass of water without spilling, folding washcloths into a neat stack and putting away, locks and latches, cutting bananas, soft food, etc. (I use a plastic knife for this, for safety!), pouring a glass of juice from a pitcher, etc.
