Mindful Monday : Week 5 Lesson Plans

Aircraft are still in full force. This week we're going to focus on helicopters and space shuttles.

Monday: Helicopter pretend play, Helicopter books, helicopter song

Tuesday (Cleaning): Lego Helicopter, Helicopter Lacing, Helicopter Matching page, tearing paper for paper mache,

Wednesday (Laundry): Clay Helicopter, Help make a space shuttle out of a box and paper mache, decorate inside "controls", design rockets for balloon rockets

Thursday (Co-op Day) Pretend play with the space shuttle, toilet paper roll shuttles, Balloon rockets, freeze dried ice cream (astronaut food), dehydrating fruit (also a cutting exercise), Clay Shuttles.

Friday: Baby's Dr. Appt., Morning Errands, Talk about how astronauts have to stay healthy , R is for Rocket Alphabet Page, S is for Shuttle Alphabet Page

Also, I found that my big lesson planning chart was really cumbersome, took more time without payoff, and not necessarily helpful for what I am trying to do, so I've reverted to this simpler plan in the text of my blog entry.  Instead of reviewing each activity, I'll blog about the really notable ones (good and bad).
