We will start the day off with a Bible Study. We will be starting The Dig this week and I look forward to it. After Bible we will do our prayer and pledge. Since S will no longer be doing her Saxon Math we needed a calendar time. I started by going back to the calendar notebooks we used to use. S was having some trouble with writing the date sentence out herself so I printed off some strips to put on the wall for her to refer to. Find them here on Mama Jenn.
That prompted me to go all out and get a calendar for the classroom. It was perfect timing too, I had several Office Max Perks saved up and the calendar I wanted just happen to fit into that budget! Yay for free!!!
For the calendar board I put the numbers on with hook and loop tape. I used the prickly part on the back of the weather cards and used felt on the wall and the weather board to stick them to. I love the frogs.
After we go over our calendar time we will move into a read aloud book. The kids have chosen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for our first book. We love the movie and are sure to enjoy the book. I will be searching for some unit type things to do with the kids around the book as well. After that we will move into Science and History/Geography. Then onto... ART! I love art and so do they. I found a great book on CBD.com called Primary Art - Book A by Dianne Sturrett. We will start out with learning our primary colors and creating a color wheel. Then we will add in primary colors and start with lesson 1.
I look forward to starting these new things with the kiddos and seeing what we can add to our morning meeting. I hope to have more about our calendar notebook soon!
