The last Monday of April marks our final Monday enrichment classes for this semester. As it was when I taught in public schools, the last day is always bittersweet. I’ve really enjoyed my part-time gig and spending time with the kids and staff. But I look forward to having Mondays to call my own for the next four months! I did agree to return for fall semester; however, I’ll be doing literacy activities with a geography theme this time around. There will still be storytime with plenty of hands-on activities. Arts & crafts activities will be fewer with more emphasis on social studies skills like maps, globes, cultures and countries.
Here’s what we’re reading and doing next Monday with supervision provided by Sadie:
The stories:
Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems. (K-1)
After the fall by Dan Santat (all)
On account of the gum by Adam Rex. (all)
Are we there yet? by Dan Santat (2-5)
The activities:
Kindergarten & 1st:
Bunny craft from Simple Everyday Mom
Second – Fifth Grades:
Would You Rather Game? (selected questions from Great Wolf Lodge)
Create Your Own Travel Scene (adapted from LB Kids pdf activity created for Are we there yet?)
The goal is to keep things simple for our last day. I’ll pick up our books from the library tomorrow and my printables are already downloaded.
Sometime in May, I’ll go through my craft/instructional supplies and see what I might need to buy for fall semester. Glue sticks and kid scissors for sure!
Will I run into you at the back-to-school supply sales in July?
