I haven't blogged our school journey in several years so I feel like i'm learning to ride a bike again. I get to the end of the week and I realize I'm not taking enough pictures :( Gonna try to do better!

My Father's World Kindergarten Unit 7 Us, Abeka Kinder, and Saxon Kinder

    I didn't realize Saxon structured things differently than the other math curriculums I've used in the past when at the Kindergarten level. Apparently, Saxon Kinder only calls for math lessons 3 days each week and you reteach those concepts on the remaining days of the week. So, we are a little ahead, but I'll fix that as we go along to get back on track. That's what I get for skimming over the overview 🙈

My Father's World Kindergarten Unit 11 Insects, Abeka Kinder, and Saxon Kinder

Trying to align Kindergarten Abeka Language with My Father's World Kindergarten takes quite a bit of time and planning. However, I love both and wanted to find a way to better meld the two together so I don't thoroughly confuse my boys. 

My lesson plans are usually 4 days a week because we attend a homeschool co op on the 5th day. Because of that, you'll notice that some of the MFW days are combined. This gives you an idea of how I am melding the two together tho and can easily be spread back out to a 5 or even 6 day week.

We put together an ant farm, ordered lady bugs for our ladybug habitat, watched several educational insect videos on you tube about ants, bees, and ladybugs. We read The Bee Tree and the Grouchy Ladybug, painted lady bug rocks, practiced our letters Ii's on the markerboard, had a tasty ants in the sand snack (saltine crackers with peanut butter on top and mini 'ant' chocolate chips) and a yummy honey biscuit treat.
