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 13: Nature
June 19th- 25th
This month we are studying about the Outdoors and we’re specifically studying about Nature this week. We were going to break it down into plants and bugs (so we’re combining them), but we have two weeks left this month and we still want to study weather. We had other priorities this month with a wedding and my Usborne Convention. 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 6.20.16 Books
We’ll be studying books about plants (trees, flowers, etc) and bugs. We have lots of great books covering these topics. We’ll be using the ones I have with me. The ones I have with me are How do Flowers grow, Living World Encyclopedia, and Too Many Tomatoes. I thought I brought some of our bug books, but I guess not specifically at least.
How it Went:
We read the books mentioned above, but also read Peek Inside the Garden and Finger Trail Playbook Garden for my daughter. As always, they loved the books! I really like starting with books about the subject we are learning because it helps my son’s interest to peak about the topic. He gets more and more excited because he knows more about it. :)
Tuesday 6.21.16 Library/Learning
We’ll probably head to the the library for storytime and then we’ll discuss the different kinds of plants; trees, flowers, bushes and talk about many different types of bugs too. My 3 year old has been very interested in bugs lately.
How it Went:
He doesn’t really love to talk about bugs, but he is really interested in them when he sees them. He was more interested in bug conversation than the plants conversation.
Wednesday 6.22.16 Music/Library
We’re planning to go to library music time, but we will also sing some songs about bugs and plants!

How it Went:
He had me sing the Baby Bumblebee song probably 5 or more times. He’s starting to try to sing songs with me and he also like the Ants Come Marching song!
Thursday 6.23.16 Activity/Art
We’re going to talk about what plants need to grow and makes pictures explaining it like this. Although we’ll probably just draw it instead of print.
How it Went:
We didn’t get to this activity.
Friday 6.24.16 Field Trip/Food
I think we’ll go to the park and catch some bugs, hopefully just potato bugs. :) I also want my son to be able to plant a seed and watch it grow!
How it Went:
We didn’t get to this either, although it is still on my to-do list. I think he will appreciate and be so much more fascinated with plants if he can watch one grow.
Saturday 6.25.16 Science/Sensory
We’re going to have chocolate pudding with gummy worms! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/317503842455287952/
How it Went:
Both of my kids LOVED this! There’s chocolate so of course. :) We talked about how worms help. I’ve seen some people use Oreos for rocks too.
