The last two weeks of [homeschool] Kindergarten were focused on Creation. The next 26 weeks are focused on one letter of the alphabet and a coordinating subject and scripture concept. This week:
S is for SUN
Jesus is the Light of the world
Genesis 1:14-19
John 8:12
Psalm 119:105
Genesis 1:14-19
John 8:12
Psalm 119:105
We've only done one day of S this week [as it is only Tuesday now and we haven't done school yet], but we had a lot of fun yesterday. Nation, all on his own, made a sun out of tinker toys for me. Love it. I've been leaving legos out on the table and Nation plays with them on and off all day making fabulous creations.
Later this week we will be painting a sun, making a grape/raisin chart, making a sundial, and doing an experiment with a globe/flashlight. Of course, followed by other school work...but those are the "fun" things!
I got a lot of my ideas from Pinterest, see my S is for Sun folder here

PS Looks like you had a great week, love all the activities...and your kiddos are adorable!!
I am starting MFW K with my kids in January. This is great. I love your posts. I'm now subscribed via email. Would you be able to share that chart (last photo) with me. It would be a great organizational tool to keep straight what to do which days.

What do you put in the ziplock bag? My youngest daughter (of three) will be starting MFW Kindergarten in a few weeks. I always did colored salt on a paper plate for the older two for sensory letter practice, but I would like to try this idea.
