Unit 2 (M for Moon) of My Father's World Kindergarten

Unit 2-M for Moon
"I am the light of the world."

Little E had a blast learning about the moon.
 We are using Explode the Code's primer books (Get Ready, Get Set, Go for the Code) along with MFW K. She is doing really well with it and really enjoys it. I've used these books before and I love them as a supplement but not as a complete phonics program. View the free printables page for a schedule for these books that go along with MFW K.
 Little E did great with sound sorting.
 This activity is a bit too easy for Little E (simply counting the correct number of bears) but she still had fun with it. This is a day 2 activity in the MFW K curriculum.
 She LOVES cutting. It's her favorite thing to do during school. I found this free printable on teacherspayteachers.com (TPT).
  I also found this printable on TPT. It's counting moon craters. I helped her write the first 4, but the last 4 was her version. I love how her 3 looks like an E. I can't wait to see her progress at the end of the year.
 We read Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle. This printable also came free from TPT. 

 Little E loves doing her worksheets.
 These are the books we read for our moon unit. The My "m" Book is by Moncure. I found the whole set at Kid to Kid for only $25 (which is a very good deal-these books are hard to find and expensive). Big Thoughts for Little People has a devotion with questions for each letter. It's very cute!

 Little E read for her very first time this week (Thursday, August 21st, to be exact)! Look at her excitement!

    1. Hi, it's an older book called "All About the Moon". It's available on Amazon for 1 cent plus shipping :)
