Week 26: Things that Go Plan 2015

*All of the daily ideas I’m using come from Pinterest and you can find them on my Pinterest Boards.  Most of the weekly ideas are my own and can also be found on my Pinterest Boards.* P.s. If you are wondering why certain words are bolded certain days, it’s because each day of the week that is our daily theme that relates to our weekly theme.  I hope that makes sense. :)

Just fyi, I am not following my weekly plans exactly.  Sometime this year we may do a potty training week and I also combined TV shows and Movies into one week, but we didn’t do some of the month of April and skipped the whole month of May and most of June due to a hospital visit and a my second child’s birth.  I also want to do Colors and Shapes again this year, so there may be minor changes, but you will know about them if you follow my blog. :)  We are mostly doing things based on what we did that week or the week before.  ie. Last week we went to Dinosaur park, so this week was about dinosaurs and this week we went to Union Grill and looked at the trains after, so this coming we is things that go.

Week 26: Things That Go
Monday:  So, I might take my son to the library on Monday and leave the baby home with Brian.  I don’t believe we have any books about things that go, but I will check. If so we’ll read those, otherwise we may check out some from the library.

Tuesday:  We will sing some songs about trains and whatever else we can find of things that go.

Wednesday: There is an awesome Pinterest idea to tape a marker to a car to color on paper.  I think we’ll do this, but with an airplane that you can wind up and it can color on it’s own (Thank you Usborne books!).  We’ll just change the colors of the markers.  It will make an awesome art piece randomly!

Thursday: We’ll do the classic activity with toilet paper rolls, paper towels would be better, but we don’t have any ready and we have lots of toilet paper rolls.

Friday:  I think we’ll do the rice tray sensory activity with cars.  We went to Union Station in Ogden, UT to look at trains on the 26th of June.  He really liked the trains, so I thought it would be fun to learn about things that go this week.  We also could go to the airplane museum over in Roy.  I believe it’s free and he might like that, so we may do that instead of the sensory activity.

Saturday:  For food, I would really like to do the train, but I think that the car is easier, so I put both! :)  It’s also the 4th of July, so maybe I should do the train since it has red, white, and blue or I could put blueberries on the car instead of strawberries.  We’ll see.

Week 25: Dinosaurs plan and how it went 2015

Dinosaurs

Monday:  We haven’t been going to the library lately because if there are sick kids, I don’t want my kids getting sick.  We will read some dinosaur books I already have.   
How it Went:
He loved the dinosaur pop-up book.  He didn’t like to look at the coloring and sticker book quite as much.  We actually did this activity Tuesday.

Tuesday:  We will sing some dinosaur songs.
How it Went:  
He really liked the dinosaur song.  You can find it on my pinterest board Week 25: Dinosaurs.  He also liked the song that was more like an activity and not very much like a song that is also pinned on that same board.

Wednesday:  I’ll draw some pictures of dinosaurs and let him color them.  Keep in mind, I’m not an artist.
How it Went:
We didn’t get to this on Wednesday, so we may do it Saturday instead of the dinosaur food idea.

Thursday: For our activity, we’ll play with Lijah’s toy dinosaurs.
How it Went:
I don’t know if we did this on Thursday, but he loved it!  I’ve found him playing with them on his own a couple times this week.

Friday:  I think we’ll count our trip last Saturday to dinosaur park in Ogden, UT as our field trip.   
How it Went:  
He loved it!  He especially loved the tall dinosaurs outside and the moving ones inside.  He also loved the parks of course.  It was a free day and well worth it!

Saturday:  For food, Make a dinosaur with bananas and a piece of bread!  The picture is on my pinterest board, Week 25: Dinosaurs plan 2015


Clearly he liked the t-rex better, unfortunately my drawing ability isn't great!

How it Went:
We’ll probably do our art activity instead this day (today) since we didn’t get to it Wednesday.
