I want to get a board where it states the weather, day of the week, month, letter of the week, we’ll also practice numbers by what day it is (Jan 4th). I may try to incorporate colors weekly. I may add more, but that is all I can think of right now. I’m debating about making one or buying one still. I’m not super crafty, so I’m thinking I may buy one. Almost all of the books we read are Usborne Books. We are in LOVE with them! I also sell them, so if you would like more info. let me know! :) If you want to check the books out that I mention, you can click the link and search the name of the book.

Week 17: Safety/Family
July 17th- 23rd
This month we are studying about the Safety, but this week we are studying about the holiday, the 4th of July. This topic is going to be a little harder since Usborne is a company that started in the US. Kane Miller is another publisher that is part of Usborne and they have a few US type things. These lesson plans are mostly for my 3 year old son, but I’m adapting them to my 1 year old daughter as well. They can be adapted for any age. I have more ideas on pinterest.
Monday 7.18.16 Books
So we don’t really have any books that have to do with safety (we need to work on that). We’re planning to go the library to see if we can find some, we do however have some books I’ve made with my extended family and both sides of the Tippetts family. We’ll use those more for my daughter because that’s what she is learning about this week and we’ll talk with my son more about safety. We do have books that necessitate safety (ie. cooking with the stove, oven, and microwave). Also, some of the dragon pictures have fire on the pages, so we may talk about and practice avoiding touching fire. We could use an Ocean book to talk about water safety. We could you the Cities of the World book to talk about travel safety, sticking by mom and dad, and what to do if you get lost. Busy Trucks of the Go to talk about driving and walking around cars safety.
Tuesday 7.19.16 Library/Learning
The plan is to talk with Lijah about all sorts of safety; stranger danger, crossing the street, swimming, guns (my husband’s idea), internet safety, choking, stove and oven, health, buddy system, emergencies, fire, etc.
Wednesday 7.20.16 Music/Library
So, I found a few different songs. The majority of them were about fire safety.

Thursday 7.21.16 Activity/Art
I think we’ll play the stop and go game and chat a little bit about crossing the street. I also read an article not too long ago about teaching your kiddos the meaning of stop. Every time your child says stop, you stop for example tickling them and then they’ll usually say go again. I just really want my kids to understand if something that someone is doing makes them feel uncomfortable and they say stop, that that person should stop. This helps their bodies and also can help protect them from danger (of running into the street). I won’t stop to be a powerful word full of meaning in our house.
Friday 7.22.16 Field Trip/Food
We practice safety all of the time in our family, but we may walk to the park and practice crossing the street. :)
Saturday 7.23.16 Science/Sensory
We may use the oven and stove and talk about how we can get burned by things that are too hot. Maybe we’ll cook something while we do it. :) Then we could use or new Cook Book!
