Got My School Work Ready?

 This week I decided to try out a lapbook from Homeschool Creations. Some days the baby wants to nurse when I don't expect it, Eli needs waaaay more attention that the day before and Turner is dying to do something other than play cars. He's always asking for school work or something interesting and now we have it. 

This week's focus letter is P so I searched around until I found a police theme. 

He absolutely LOVES catching the bad guys.

Saying "pa pa pa Police" is helping Turner say the word correctly
(it sounds like "fa leece" when he says it).

He really loves having "work" that he can choose to do any time he'd like.

This Week's Plan

This week's letter: P
Numbers: working on 10-20

For the letter P, we will be using a bunch of ideas from all over the internet. I could make things easy on myself and use Confessions of a Homeschooler's wonderful resource but the theme is pumpkins. Let's just say I'm over the season and not in the mood for them!

There are bunch of cute fingerplays and ideas here and this page has a lot of ideas that seem simple enough. The important thing is that I'm loaded with ideas!

Monday: introduction to P and the Policeman Preschool Pack (or first venture in to a lapbook, I think Turner will LOVE it and the opportunity for something self-guided),  park day

Tuesday: Aquarium before or after naps, introduction to numbers 10-20 (Turner knows them by recital but not identification), finishing up Valentine crafts

Wednesday: Library story time, pasta art

Thursday: mail Valentine's crafts, baking day (pineapple muffins!)

Friday: finish anything we didn't get to

Circle Time: working on days of the week (today, yesterday, tomorrow), policeman fingerplays and songs
