weekly plans

I'm gearing up for Mommy and Me preschool with Afton, which will be themed each week with topics instead of letters. So themes are running amok at our house...even weekly plans!

Ocean Week

Monday we made edible ocean snacks (grahams, blue frosting and goldfish) which was a huge hit with both kids. Afton wanted to get more creative so we used fruity cheerios for coral reefs. The next morning she thought of using mighty bites for scuba divers. This will be a repeat activity this week for sure!


Tuesday: Afton watched shark clips on You Tube with Patrick. I thought for sure watching seals get eaten in slow motion would bring bad dreams but all it brought was the desire for MORE in the morning! This was a favorite.


Wednesday: I've taken to renting cartoons since our local channel choices stink. We're all over Diego's Underwater Mystery this week.

Thursday: My hope is to buy a little fishing pole for Afton and send her away with Patrick for her first fishing experience.

Friday: Ocean in a Jar. Food coloring AND seashells AND sand is sure to make a great fun mess.

Yes! Let the kids watch shark week, it's the coolest thing (IMO) OR bring her by in August and Pria will be happy to show her what sharks do!

Very cool projects! Where do you find them all?
