Loving Our Curriculum

I've only started using the My Father's World Kindergarten so far but I just love it!  Although I was planning on mainly using it with Caroline, I also made some copies for Courtney and Claire to join in.  I'm sure glad I did because they have not missed a beat.  They love it and so does Caroline.  These first 10 days are about Creation so we've been doing some fun projects and having some yummy snacks.  Sunshine is also working in a few of her subject areas but we wont officially begin her curriculum until the 8th.

It's really helping me to start with one curriculum first to see how it will play out with the twins and Caroline.  I know that I will be working with them first each morning because it will be much easier to give them independent time once they have already had time with me.  I'll keep Caroline longer and hopefully pull her into some of Calista's curriculum if she is interested.

So here are a few highlights from our first three days of (almost) school.

Here they are reviewing letter sounds with their ABC chart.

Caroline making her Day 1 of Creation page.

Caroline and Claire eating their snack representing dark and light.

Coloring their Creation Number after our Bible lesson.

Creating their Day 2 page for their Creation Book.

Yummy (but not very filling) snack representing the sky and water that God created.

They love the ABC game more than I thought they would.

Day 3 of Creation Book page. 

Calista working on her United States History Notebook.  I got this wonderful idea from another homeschool mommy here.

We still have a few more days of Creation to go but I was just so excited about what they have done so far that I had to start blogging about it. :)
