My son is going through My Father's World Kindergarten this year. I was so excited when I received everything but wasn't sure how to organize it. I bought the Deluxe Package along with the Literature Collection to go along with the kindergarten curriculum and we are also going through Sonlight P4/5. Therefore, we have a lot of books which are not including books we already own and relate to the curriculum or books we'll get from the library. Can you tell I majored in English? This is also how I organized Sonlight P4/5.
How I organized My Father's World Kindergarten
I bought a 2in white binder with a clear pocket front. I placed the cover page for the student sheets in front. Then I used page protectors to hold various things such as the letters and pictures for the Short Vowel Song, Bingo Game, Number and ABC chart, extra calendar pages, etc. Then I added 26 number labels and put each week or letter's activities behind one page protector. As I see things that go along with the week I want to add, I add them to the page protector. If the page protectors get full, I'll just add the rest of the week in another one behind it. I keep the 100 Chart and current month's calendar page in the front pocket to pull out easily. Once my son completes a week, I'm going to hole punch his work or put it in a page protector at the back of the binder behind the week's tab. At the end of the year we'll have a completed binder full of this year's work. I store everything in a blue basket I got at Walmart along with all the books and the 100 Days Cup and sticks. Each morning I get out the basket and everything is right there. At the end of the week, I change the books out for the next week's books. We are on week 2, and finishing Creation. Once we start Unit 1, I'll add the Cuisenaire® Rods Alphabet Book and Rods to the basket along with anything else we'll be using that week.
Here are some pictures of how I have organized this.

On the left in the pocket is the 100 Chart and behind that is the current month's calendar |
Extra things I'll use throughout the year stored in page protectors up front |
Unit 1: S - I store the character card on the front page |
Things we are going to be doing during Unit 1. We are using Wordy Worm so I added 2 pages from them. I also added a dot paint page and a maze. I'll add more once I look over the week. |
