Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans. (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)
Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time. You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations. Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

Oooh, you guys have some FUN stuff in this one – I love the balls falling into the baskets on the clip cards! I’m sooooo not a sports-lover, but I may have to reach outside my comfort zone & consider a basketball week 😉
Thanks so much for all the wonderful printables and activities you share! What a great idea for all those little basketball players and fans! I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
Thanks Deb. We appreciate you featuring it.
Thanks Dawn. We’re glad you like them. Out of all the sports, basketball is my least favorite. However, the boy is a big fan of sports and so is his daddy. The things I do for my boys. =)
Thanks so much for the basketball printables. We just finished up our basketball weeks. I had planned on making my own in celebration of March Madness (we’re big sports people w/ 2 little boys) when I found that you already had some. Thanks for saving me time (and a bit of aggravation) since I’m new at this.
