Theme of the Day Chart

August 7, 2012 By: amyswandering6 Comments

Last year, I came up with my Theme of the Day idea.

The concept worked pretty good for us, but not all of the subjects did. I made the mistake of choosing too many things that I wanted my kids to know and not enough of the things we actually wanted to learn.

After much prayer and pondering, I think I’ve come up with a plan that we will really enjoy!

We will be doing our Theme of the Day activities each morning right after Bible study.  (I plan them weekly.) All of the links below are FREE!
