Likes: I absolutely love this curriculum. It is a complete home education curriculum for Kindergarten. (The series goes up to 6th grade and the higher grades also have supplemental books you can purchase that contain comprehension tests and assessments.)

I really love that the book is set up into 36 weeks, with 5 days for each week. It then has 6 subject areas to create a complete education for the child. It is broken down into a VERY easy table view that you can copy from the book onto one page (front and back) for record keeping purposes if you'd like.

Most of the activities can be completed with VERY easy to find household objects and books found from the library. Each week has different themes. For example, you will have a letter of focus, numbers of focus, and a science and social study subject of focus (such as dinosaurs and Christopher Columbus, for example).

The book also contains all of the worksheets you would need to supplement and TONS of activities that can be completed to supplement the material! There are also book lists listed weekly for further study into the subjects taught.

Dislikes:
My only dislike on this is that it does not go into depth with phonics/reading instruction. We are supplementing my daughter's reading instruction with another book. Still, she enjoys the curriculum immensely and I'm so happy to have it!

Likes: I like that almost everything is right at my fingertips. Weekly lesson plans, worksheets, and spelling words.

Dislikes: Sometimes the book requires resources that are not readily available so I have to improvise. But that is really the only dislike.
