We just finished our first week, and while we didn’t make it to the museum I was planning on (life got in the way, AKA I drove my car into our garage door…), we still read a lot of books, made some water color paintings, and learned about weather! The “lessons” were brought to us by searching “Weather AND kids” on youtube, so obviously it was well planned out 😉
I’m hoping to go to the library this weekend to get books specifically for our next week’s theme, “Manners.” Our field trips involve going to places where we can practice our polished manners (such as talking to a cashier and looking at them in the eye, saying please and thank you, etc.) and having a “nice” family dinner where they can use their improved table manners.
Reading back through this post, it might seem more complicated that it really is–but I promise, this initial planning took me about 10 minutes while eating lunch. If you haven’t made your plans yet, go for it! And just copy mine!
If you have already made your own version of this, what are your plans? Any tips?

I think you just blew my mind when you said you printed off your apple calendar! I had no idea!!! So smart! Your summer sounds great! A nice balance between fun and learning. Good job! I need to get it in high gear and figure it out. Summer is here!

This is so great, Monica! You're an awesome mom. I hope that I can be this organized and creative (and PATIENT!) Your kids are super duper lucky to have a mom who is a teacher!
