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. We use magnet numbers and letters each week as well. 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! :) Starting next time, I’m just going to have the link to my Usborne website right here only and have pictures of the books. Then if you want to check them out you can click the link and search the name of the book. Here’s the link: h4006.myubam.com
Week 7: Valentine’s Day
February 14th-February 20th
This month we are studying All About Me, but this week since Valentine’s Day was this week, we’re going to focus on the holiday! These lesson plans are mostly for my 2.5 year old son, but I’m adapting them to my 8 month old daughter. They can be adapted for any age. I have more ideas on pinterest, you can check them out by topic usually, but this one is mostly under February Fun for Toddlers (but it applies to older kids too).
Monday 2.15.16 Books
We don’t really have any great books for Valentine’s Day, so we will read some books that have to do with love. We’ll read Cuddle Bear again. We will also read The Children Who Loved Books and Animally. We’ll be getting Nibbles sometime this week!!! It just came out and is seriously adorable, so we’ll read that one as well even though it doesn’t have to do with love. We are also planning to go to Thanksgiving Point and go to the Dinosaur Museum! :)
How it Went:
We read Cuddle Bear and Nibbles! He loves both of those books and would have loved Animally because he LOVES animals, but I forgot to get them out.
Tuesday 2.16.16 Library/Learning
We are going to a storytime that one of my friends is doing at Chick-fil-a. We will also talk about how Valentine’s Day came about and why.
How it Went:
We didn’t talk about Valentine’s Day, but we did go to a very fun story time in Orem! The theme was the farm!
Wednesday 2.17.16 Music/Library
We will probably try to go the library this day and do music time. We will listen to, dance to, and/or talk about love songs as well!
How it Went:
We didn’t get to this. My son started feeling sick.
Thursday 2.18.16 Activity/Art
We’re going to do a really simple activity with paper towels cut in the shape of a heart with food coloring.
How it Went:
Again we didn’t get to this. :(
Friday 2.19.16 Field Trip/Food
This is going to be an incredibly busy day for me. I’m hosting an Usborne Coloring and Cupcakes party at my house, so this is my prep day since it’s early the next morning. I’m not going to play anything. If you’re looking for an activity, I would do the traditional, but always fun sugar cookies and frosting Valentine’s style!
How it Went:
He at frosting with me instead of helping me with the cupcakes.
Saturday 2.20.16 Science/Sensory
I think our Thursday activity is sort of science-y and sensory. Again, I’m not planning anything to see how it goes! :)
How it Went:
It was perfect because we didn’t plan anything and we did just that. :)
