Unlike the last couple of years, I do not have one overriding theme (two years ago I did Mommy and Me ABC and last year we went through the alphabet working on other skills). This year I'm planning on doing themed units. Most will probably last about a week, but some might be longer or shorter. During each unit I hope to do at least some work in each of the following categories (whether or not it relates to the theme):
Math
Literacy
Spelling
Science
Art
Writing/Motor Skills
Spanish
Visual Spatial Skills or a Design Challenge
Game
Puzzle
Sensory Play
Below is a list of resources we'll use to go with the different categories. I'll also probably make a bunch of printables and post them as we go. I may also add resources here throughout the year as I find new ones. It looks like a lot, but we won't always be using all of them at the same time! My plan is 10-30 minutes a day. Many links are affiliate links (thank you so much for supporting us).

Science
While we're officially done with the Alphabet in Simple Science, I'll continue adding pages and themes to that collection. We'll also try to throw some science in with any unit theme we're doing.

Kindergarten is such a fun year for writing and reading progress. I wish I would have saved more samples from my years of teaching over the years as each kid has such a unique style!
