I took the very first story in the book, CREATION. And I read it through, and made little notes on my paper. It explains what God made in the first 6 days. So I took those 6 days and I'm making a lesson out of each day!
Day 1 : Light and Dark. Read the story to the kids. Show light and dark with lights in the house. Then go around the house looking for dark colored objects and light colored objects. Color with light crayons and dark crayons. Play a matching game(I'm about to make a matching game of light and dark matching colors for this game). Number of the day, 1. Learn to write 1 and then to also spell it. (Not hoping for much here she is only 3 lol) ONE. Go over ONE and practice writing it. Draw a big 1 and write ONE under it and let her color it in, then tape it on our little wall for home schooling. Color of the day is all colors, light and dark. Shape of the day square, since the matching game will have square cards.
Day 2 : (Review previous day and reread the story) Sky. Teach that the sky is very high up and covers the whole earth! Its always blue. Clouds are in the sky, they can make the sky look dark and scary before a storm. Rain comes from clouds and storms too! Draw a picture of a storm, sky clouds lightening and rain. Number of the day, 2. Do the same for number 2 as we did for number 1. Review letters, sing alphabet etc. Shape of the day rectangle.
Day 3 : Review 1 & 2, reread story. Mountains,Oceans, Trees, and flowers. Mountains are very high up. They are very big! Draw a picture of a BIG mountain and a small hill to show the difference, let Taylor help and color everything in. Oceans are very deep! They can be blue and green. The Atlantic Ocean is the closest ocean to us. Trees can be very tall or short. They have leaves, trunk, and branches. Draw a big tree adn a little tree. Flowers can be all colors. Number of the day 3, draw 3 flowers etc. Shapes of the day, Triangle, Circle and rectangle.
Day 4 : Sun,Moon,Stars(Review all other days as well). The sun is very big. Its yellow/orange. Its VERY hot(look at some things in the house that are HOT and that we do not want to touch). Draw the sun. The moon is very big too! astronauts have been to the moon! Draw the moon in all phases to show that the Moon looks different. Stars, there are a LOT of them. Look outside that night at the stars. Draw stars, color them, count them etc. Number of the day 4, sing alphabet etc. Shapes of the day Circles and Stars.
Day 5 : Fish for the oceans and lakes. Birds and butterflies. (Review all other days). Number of the day is 5. Draw fish, birds and butterflies. Draw 5 of each. Fish live underwater, they swim and breathe underwater. They can be very big or very small. Draw a big fish and small fish, (Compare BIG things and little things in the house and outside). Birds fly up in the sky, they have wings that let them fly. They can be alot of different colors, and they build nests in trees! Draw birds, and nests in the trees. Butterflies fly too! they have very pretty wings. Draw butterflies and color in the pretty wings!
Days 6 : God created all animals. Draw alot of different animals, name all animals on the story pages. Learn how some animals live in the water, some fly in the sky, some live in the ground, and some like dogs and cats and horses live on the ground. Number of the 6. Review numbers 1-6. Review all shapes, circles, squares, rectangles, stars, triangles. Review colors and letters as well. Maybe throw in a matching game of the animals. Whats Taylors favorite animal? Go over animal sounds too.
So thats what I have for the first 6 days. :) Hopefully it all goes well. I plan to do 30 minutes in the morning time, then about 15 minutes before lunch, and then another 30 minutes after nap time. :)
