As much as I love the hands-on activities and crafts in our My Father’s World Kindergarten Curriculum, I was not very good about doing the Words to Remember badges with my daughter. So, I came up with something a little different for the boys. I created printable art/copywork pages for them to work on their penmanship while creatively depicting the Words to Remember. It was a hit!
This is one of our Lesson 2: Mm Moon pages. First, the boys completed the copywork at the bottom of the page and then they began the craft portion of the activity.
Supplies:
- black construction paper
- white crayon
- MFW Words to Remember printable
Directions:
1) Cut four squares from black construction paper.
2) Discuss the moon phases.
3) Use a white crayon to draw a full, half, and crescent moon on the three of the squares.
4) Leave the forth square blank to represent the new moon.
PLEASE NOTE: These copywork printables are only for students who are reading and writing easily. This type of copywork is not a regular part of the My Father’s World Kindergarten curriculum.

Hi Jenn,
I’m hoping to use MFW Kindergarten with my oldest next fall, so I’m excited about these posts! I look forward to reading any bits and pieces you share about MFW throughout this school year! Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to let you know that I nominated your blog as a Top Ten blog at Teaching Blog Addict. If you don’t “do” these things, that’s fine…I was nominated by a sweet friend, and I didn’t want to let her down by failing to follow through.
Anyway, your blog is one of my favorites…and I thought I’d pass along your blog to others mamas and teachers.
Here’s my Top Ten post…
