Weekly Theme Box- FARM

FARM

Our weekly planned curriculum

IN THE BOX

These items are what I call "fun items" that are meant to be used as props, activity helpers, free play/sensory activities or crafts helpers. They are mostly from the dollar store or dollar sections at Target, Michael's, or Joann's. Some items we already own, others I bought specifically for this theme. All "fun items" will be kept with school stuff to be used in other themes, lessons or as props etc.

Each baggie contains a prepped craft & all/most of the elements needed to complete it. I let Zorro Choose the craft by showing him a hand drawn photo of the craft and explaining what we do (paint, cut, glue, etc..). We don't plan on getting to all of the crafts. The left over crafts are preped and ready for any other time we wish to use them.
