What's In The Mother Goose Time Box? Part Two

Last time I gave an overview of what was in my Mother Goose Time box for December.  Today I will give more details on exactly what kinds of things are in each specific bag.  I will probably do a few of these, because I want to keep them reasonably short, and there is a TON of stuff!  Just so you know I have been messing with this curriculum a lot since I got it, and there might be a few pieces that ended up back in the wrong bags.

Like I said last time, the first bag is an introductory bag.  It has the Getting Started guide, which has an overview of how to use the curriculum and set up your circle time display, and some additional information.  You only get this bag once a year.

This is my display (you provide your own board or tape it to the wall).  Some of the stuff is on the back (friendly bees, world map, and color palette).  The guide and CD, extra labels and school stuff is not pictured because that picture got corrupted...
The Circle Time Display includes a number tree, alphabet strip (which you are supposed cut to look like grass, but I just taped it on there all lazy like), month labels for the calendar, an artist's palette for the color of the month, a friendly bee hive with a ribbon for character traits, a world map, Mother Goose and her nest, a weather sign and weather pieces, day of the week clouds, cloud labels and a Circle Time CD.  It has velcro and clothespins for the changing pieces.  Also included are Investigation Station signs (for different play areas such as math, sensory, dramatic play, etc.), a Family Information Guide, and I'm a Little Helper Booklet.  These pieces probably won't be used at our house, and are intended more for preschools.

This is most of the stuff for December.  Some of the stuff (letter "V" and /v/ phonics cards, calendar, poster and number 7) is already on the Circle Time display.
Each month you get new Circle Time display pieces, which come in their own bag.  You get a calendar and calendar numbers that match the theme and/or season, a theme poster, letter flags for the letters of the month, a friendly bee that says what the character trait of the month is, a Circle Time CD that correlates with the theme and a song ring so you can know the words, a paint brush and color daub, phonics photo cards, global friends for the world map, big numbers and number leaves for your number tree, the shape of the month, and hands on letters of the month.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children.  This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children.  Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
