I wrote my curriculum using weekly themes.
Once I have my weekly themes done I use the themes and break it down into the subject areas
For example this weeks theme is winter
Tuesday looks like this.....
Art- I do two art projects one in the morning and one in the afternoon
Paint Snowflakes
Make Snowflakes with glitter and glue
Math-Snowflake match
Language-We are on the letter O....So we look in our dictionary for words that start with that letter We color that letter with a picture of a word that starts with Letter O my older kids write that letter on a worksheet
Gross Motor-We played freeze to music
Fine motor-build with k-nex
Music-Learning the Snowman song
Science-Discovery bin added cotton Balls
Literature-Books about winter
Everyday I change activities. I hope this gives you another idea.
If you can't go outside I would plan on gross motor activities instead.
