KJV Chronological Study Bible

The KJV Chronological Study Bible by Edward Reese is available on Kindle and in Google Play Books.  (prices may be different)
You can download a pretty sizeable sample to see which you prefer.  My sister likes it on Google Play Books, and I prefer Kindle.  

There is a reading plan at the back, but it could be tedious going back and forth, even with a bookmark. 
My sister got screenshots and converted them to PDF, then wrote the dates on the side. 
You can download it here

Below are screenshots of how I'm highlighting/adding a note of the dates.  
This can be done on a computer (I use Chrome browser and can copy/paste "January" etc.) rather than tediously doing all 365 days on a phone.  🙂

How it looks on my phone: 





Also, rather than looking at the headings listed on the PDF reading schedule (they are general headings and cover many, many pages - see days 6-8 below), I find it's more accurate to look at the chapter and verse listed for the next day's reading.

K5 Naptime

I remember that my K5 teacher used to give suckers to the x number of kids who went to sleep first during naptime.  Those little dum-dum suckers.
After naptime, I remember lining up in the hall, with the teacher walking down the line, pausing at various smart, well-behaved children and letting them choose a sucker out of the little bunch she held in her hand.
She walked past me each time.  Apparently, I was not well-behaved.

But I was never sleepy at naptime!

I finally gave up on getting a sucker....

Until one day....
Like usual, I was not sleepy, and I was bored.
So I sat up and looked around at the other kids going to sleep.
I heard the teacher coming, so I lay down with my eyes shut.  I kept very still.
I heard the door open.... after a moment, I heard it close again.
I carefully peeked to make sure she was really gone and not tricking us.  Sometimes she did.
I eventually got brave enough to actually lean off my cot a couple of times to see what my neighbors were doing.
They were sleeping.
sigh...
so bored.....
An hour is a loooong time for a 5-year-old to be still with ab-so-LUTE-ly nothing to do, especially when she's not sleepy!
So... I took off the blanket of the kid next to me.  I don't know why.  I didn't keep his blanket; I just decided to pull it off him.  I think it was light blue.
The teacher checked on us several times, and each time, I just lay still.
I was very quiet, hoping to trick her....

I got the sucker!
I chose what I thought was a chocolate one.  It turned out to be root beer, which I didn't like at all, haha.  That's what I get for not actually behaving!

I guess my teacher thought she'd better give me one since I might not have another chance.
Apparently, she was very intuitive, because I don't remember getting any more, either.  haha.
