St. Patrick’s Day Kindergarten Lesson Plan

I am so glad that I’ve incorporated theme days into our school year.  My son absolutely loves them! 

(Click the image below to download my lesson plan. All activities linked.)

For St. Patrick’s Day my son picked out a few activities that he wanted to do.  A BIG MUST are the activities using Lucky Charms!  He also scanned Pinterest with me to find his craft of choice.

Do you have any fun plans for next week? I’d love to hear what you’re doing. Leave a comment and let me know.

Valentine Theme Day Plans

100th Day was a huge success!

There were some things that weren’t that great…like when I wasted several, and I mean a lot of paper trying to print this "I Can Count to 100" book front to back.  After the 100th time of tweaking I finally got it the way I wanted.  So much for trying to save paper.

Also, our public library had slim pickings on the 100th Day book choices.  I wish Amazon offered a public library option on all of its book.  I’d pay for a membership to that! 

Besides, those set backs I did discover that my son’s favorite thing so far this year was…Disney’s Frozen theme day! 

Since my son loves theme days so much, I hope to include at least 2 a month.  My son is already talking about Valentine’s Day activities. 

Here is a look at what we will be doing Friday. (Click the image below to download it.  Links are clickable.)

Do you have anything fun planned for this week?

A Lesson Plan

When we began putting units together last year we included lesson plans.  It was our hope that mommies who were just starting their homeschool adventures could use them and not be overwhelmed with details.  This year, when we moved to expanding our units, we opted not to include a lesson plan but to give mommies a variety of activities focusing on key learning concepts.

Many of you have e-mailed saying you miss those plans!  It is for you that I offer this. Just click on the image to print it. 



Now this is a BLANK LESSON FORM that you can print off and use to plan your week!   It also happens to be what I use. (Note: You may also download a 5 Day Lesson Plan HERE!!)

A couple of things you should note:

• There are only 3 days.  That’s because in our house, we only do three days! 
• Extras don’t have to be done, or they can be done on a different day then your lessons. 
• Each activity we make is meant to work on a key concept.  We offer activities in each unit to work on them all, and you should aim for using something to cover them all in a teaching week.
• The 3 days don’t have to be done consecutively.     

To give you an idea of what to do with a unit I am sharing my Halloween Lesson Plan using our printables and our extra posts.  It should give you an idea on how you can fill the plan out each week!  Just click on the image to print it.


I hope these prove to be helpful for some of you!

Once you’ve completed the graph (first item to # of choice), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What item is that?  Which color is shorter? Which item is that? How many times did we give the (item) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Dress for Summer- Allow your child to learn how to put on clothes that they would wear in summer. Encourage them to try and do things on their own, but help if needed.
