A Kindergarten Day

Little Man and I have found a good morning routine that allows me to give him some undivided attention (mostly) to work on math and phonics before he goes to his play mat for the always anticipated "activity time". We start our day with prayer and Bible reading, which also serves as history reading some of the time since we are learning about the ancients this year. After that I work with daughter G for about 15 minutes while Little Man finishes the picture in his Bible journal that goes along with what we read (he's almost always the last one done! That boy loves to draw!). And then it's "our" time.

We work on phonics and math together, and learn Bible verses from his Awana Sparks book. We used to practice writing his name every day, but he has that down really well now.



And then he gets "activity time" while I cycle through working with each of his brothers. The activities change daily. One day a couple weeks ago his activity time was building shapes out of pattern blocks. I gave him about 5 or 6 pictures on heavy cardstock to copy, and then he went to town building his own creations. He asked for the camera, and took some pictures all by himself.






Activity time and play time round out his morning. After lunch and recess we have book time ~ he looks at books for 30 minutes and I read aloud for 30 minutes (to everyone). And then his kindergarten day is done!
