Camp out!
If Do you have any books that you also have the movie of, you can do both and then compare and contrast them. At your camp out your dollies can join you! Even if you don’t have a tent, it is super easy to make them a sleeping bag 🙂! do you have any books that you also have the movie of, you can do both and then compare and contrast them. At your camp out your dollies,stuffies,Barbies...can join you! Even if you don’t have a tent, it is super easy to make them a sleeping bag 🙂! One way is when your leggings get too short, Cut them above the knee and the bottom part becomes a sleeping bag by gluing or Velcroing at the ankle.

Make your car a train & a few activities...

Hello friends😘! Such odd times ... trying to make the “new normal” seem more “normal”. I think having a Designated learning space, it doesn’t have to have a desk, maybe just a box of books and a box of supplies helps make the distinction between learning time ,(“home school”, as Iris likes to call it, family time & independent creative/exploratory time,AKA play time 🙂! I’ve always said, KIDS LEARN THE BEST THROUGH PLAY, but of course there’s still the need for age appropriate structure & instruction also. Trying to find that balance may be a challenge & is NOT 1 size fits all, & will take some trial & error. Iris does not like much TV,screen time... at all, so we’re not doing a lot of the EXCELLENT techno learning many of you are offering 😞, we just have to adjust to individual needs. That being said, she is getting tired of “all things video”so I won’t be doing much of that nor posting “school “, she says,” our teacher,( EXTROARDINAIRE Monica Donaldson), doesn’t do that !”
So in keeping with her preschool letter I week, I introduced the difference between countries,states & cities & then gave examples of some for each that start with I. (social studies).
We talked about our class per,( Trooper😂), being Irish & we ate ITALIAN food for dinner.
Creation station was puzzles which confirmed we need more 60 piece ones as she QUICKLY whipped up 48 piece & less ones.
Practiced writing capital & lower case I & continued in the book she is “authoring “😂.
For “Movement” we did ballet @ her ballet bar. She convinced me to try on my OLD Point shoes & do some point, I was really surprised they fit,(sort of😂).
We went in an “I” hunt for insects & Icky things & learned how a gecko we saw was alike & different from an IGuana.
We talked about Infection & germs but she does NOT want to watch Bill Nye Germ video because she “doesn’t like how he looks& germs are so gross!”(Science)
We made Icy treats & read I books, I highly recommend “I am Peace”...sooo right on in these unsettled days,weeks... good conversation starter too.
These are just a few ideas you can do with each letter of the week for other kids that don’t like “screen time.”
I know there’s a lot of great stuff out there but I’m not going to push looking at a screen on her. She did like the sloths on the live Houston Zoo today but made her want to go there, which I promised when this craziness ends. God bless you all & your families!!!
