This term I am determined to give more considered time to my youngest three. Genevieve is
(K) and Saxon is (Pre-Sch.) In the past I have tried Little Saints and whilst it is well set out I think I need something even easier/more flexible. To this end I have decided on the following plan, using block periods to be flexible with the attention span of the day and working around the middles.
Block A – Prayer time/hymn (with olders)
Faith Time – My Jesus and I chart, Simple Catechism discussion and Bible/Faith story (Saint of the day if we have book). Singing-20 Religious Songs.
Block B – Seat time
Puzzles and Mont. type activities.

Block C – Sandpit/Outdoor Play time
Block D (MTea)- Nature Hunt

Block E – Picture Bk Time, Poetry
