Box Day & how to organize that new curriculum !
I hear little Monkey screeching from the other room. "It's here .....It's here; mom there is a package here." I know exactly what this package is , and even I am a little excited. OK, who am I kidding? I AM SO EXCITED! So, we thank the UPS man and scurry into the house. Monkey went to grab the scissor , and by this point even my husband has come into the room to see what all the excitement is about.
DRUM ROLL .....................
It's a new car...... kidding ,kidding....It's our My Father's World First Grade Curriculum! We decided to go with the Deluxe Package. Right now it is 10% off and free shipping! If you have been hesitating please don't wait . I have been pricing for months and this is the best deal for the curriculum new. You can find it here http://www.mfwbooks.com/products/6/First-Grade-Learning-God-s-Story/.
The Deluxe Package includes the following:

Such a great value that I could not fit it all in one shot!
Now , I was feeling a little overwhelmed; so I organized the curriculum to be even more user friendly.
I put tabs for each week in the teachers manual. That way I could easily flip to what week we are on.
The Student Sheets I put in a three ring binder with tabs for each week. The tabs I got are folder style that way if I had an extra papers or lesson sheets I create I can stick them in for that week. I found them on amazon and you will need four sets: http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Two-Pocket-Insertable-Dividers-11907/dp/B00006IBYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1450642998&sr=8-7&keywords=folder+tabs
Honey For A Child's heart is a great book ! It spans from birth to High School. So, I tabbed the book for the age level we are currently at.
I hope that this has given you some good ideas if you feel overwhelmed when taking the curriculum out of the box. I would also love to see your great idea's as well. Please comment below with what has or has not worked for you.
