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!

Using it for workboxes is a great idea!
