Theme of the Day

August 17, 2011 By: amyswandering6 Comments

I am doing something new during our morning group time this year … Theme of the Day activities.

My plan is to spend around 30 minutes learning something new or doing something fun. I don’t know if it will work, but we are going to try it.

Here are my themes & ideas:

Memory Work Monday

  • Bible verses
  • English from the Roots Up
  • Mnemonics

Creativity Tuesday

  • seasonal/holiday crafts
  • art techniques

Writer’s Workshop Wednesday

  • creative writing
  • poetry
  • traits of a good writer
  • mad libs

Think About It Thursday

  • puzzles
  • mazes
  • mysteries
  • logic problems

Nature Fun Friday

  • nature walk
  • scavenger hunts
  • notebook pages
  • games

I made a chart to hang up so I don’t have to answer “What are we doing today?‘ five times. Would you like a copy?

I hope to share our activities here each week, but we’ll see how that goes…. 😀

    Love this… I may need to incorporate this into our afternoon workboxes so that I can have some idea of how to stock them!
