How We Organize My Father's World Kindergarten: Part 1

I find myself often floating between being something of an over-achiever and just plain impatient. When I am excited about something I have a hard time not going after it. So even though we still have months before we are ready to start our new curriculum, and are hopefully God-willing moving to North Carolina between now and then, I couldn't help but get going on some of our curriculum organization. I got my ideas from blogs off Pinterest so hopefully they are tried and true :) I know I would have been completely lost with that big stack of student sheets without seeing it organized online already. So here is what we did.

I got a hanging file crate to hang files for each unit in (and then realized the new pack I bought was the wrong size so we are still in production here until I get the right size!). I then printed out slot labels for each unit, Creation to Yy-Yellow. In each file, I am putting all of the work sheets for each unit into each file, as well as any coordinating worksheets from our Sonlight, math, and handwriting programs. So in total we will actually have 36 files for units. I also plan on adding a file for extra sheets, such as the bingo cards, blend latter chart, 100 chart, etc.

 

Obviously this will be much more full with files when I'm done, but hopefully behind the files I'll have space for large items, such as the Lauri letters, Teacher's Guide, etc.

 

 

I also got to try out my new laminator yesterday! I have never used one before but I am SO glad I got one. So far I have laminated the blend ladder chart, bingo cards, vowel song cards, alphabet game cards, and the number and letter reference charts. I wasn't sure what else to do at this point, I guess I'll have to wait and see once we get going.

That's what I have so far. I'm sure it will grow and change as we get going in the lessons but I will definitely post what we do and what works!
