Our Lady of Guadalupe Lesson Plans for Little Flowers

Way back in 2006 (it's hard to remember what life was like back then...I had a 10 yr old, 8 year old, 6 year old, 4 year old and an almost 2 year old...)Life was busy.  What an appropriate time to discuss Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas and the unborn!  I had decided to have a lesson about OLOG because the saint I had originally chosen (St. Maria Goretti) had a life story a bit too intense/mature for our younger little flower girls.  :)

I came across the lesson plans I used when I was cleaning out old files recently.  :)

Here it is:

Download Readinglist9-10 

The  list is not complete--she will add her pleasure reading as she remembers.  I have told her to keep a running list from now on.  I will attach this list to her high school transcript when we send in her college applications.  

The Plan: Pre-K/K for Marie

Marie turns five on September 8, Our Lady's Birthday!  :)

I plan on splitting kindergarten into two years with her (unless she demands more) so we can enjoy and ease into a learning routine with her.  Less is more at this age.  I plan on using my Mother of Divine Grace kindergarten syllabus for inspiration, as well.
