Being Clean (not littering,
cleaning room/house, putting toys away, etc.)
Watch Daniel Tiger episode 123 on Netflix.
Talk about how littering makes our world dirty and how it can be
dangerous for animals and other people.
Talk about chores that they can do around the house.
Maybe make a simple sticker chore chart together.
Clean up a room while singing the clean-up song (to hear the song, you
can go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkRE66MWORc)

**I've decided to introduce this ping-pong chore chart idea from: http://www.bhg.com/decorating/storage/organization-basics/declutter-and-stress-less/?rb=Y#page=26
We will have 30 minute chore time each day. The boys can pick their chores and do as many as they can in 30 minutes. The boy with the most balls in his chore jar at the end of the 30 minutes gets a prize: a no-chore day, gets to pick a show to watch, a small treat, etc.
When the boys get a little older, I want to try this chore chart: I found this on Pinterest but there was no link. I think it's super cute and super easy!
Here's a good list of age-appropriate chores, plus a printable:

Day One
|

Literacy:
Sing the Alphabet Song.
The Letter C: color C pictures and talk about things on the farm that
start with C.
Read a book that one of the kids chooses.
A Farm poem:
(Maybe use pictures to do this poem and have the kids guess at the
sounds).
Down in the Barnyard
When the farmer’s day is done,
In the barnyard, ev’ry one,
Beast and bird politely say,
“Thank you for my food today.”
The cow says “Moo”
The pigeon says “Coo”
The sheep says “Baa”
The goat says “Maa”
The hen, “Cluck, cluck”
“Quack,” says the duck;
The dog, “Bow-wow”
The cat, “Meow”
The horses say,
“Neigh, I love sweet hay!”
The pig nearby,
Grunts in his sty.
When the barn is locked up tight,
Then the farmer says “Goodnight”.
Thanks his animals, ev’ry one,
For the work that has been done.

Science/Social Studies: Days of the week
Look at calendars. I have a big poster calendar that we can use. Talk
about the days of the week, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Make the slider from the website listed below.
To the tune of “Are You Sleeping, Are
You Sleeping, Brother John?”
Every week has 7 days,
See how many you can say. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Saturday - that’s 7 days!
To the tune of “The Addams Family”
Theme Song
Days of the week, (clap, clap)
Days of the week, (clap, clap) Days of the week, Days of the week, Days of the week. (clap, clap)
There’s Sunday and there’s Monday,
There’s Tuesday and there’s Wednesday, There’s Thursday and there’s Friday, And then there’s Saturday!
Days of the week, (clap, clap)
Days of the week, (clap, clap) Days of the week, Days of the week, Days of the week. (clap, clap)

I am a Wonder Mommy! I wonder how to do everything I need to do. I wonder how to be a good mom to my kids. I wonder how to be a good wife. I wonder how to teach my kids good things. I wonder how long I can go without sleep...I wonder, I wonder, I wonder!
On this blog, I will share my ideas for an at-home preschool that I do with my children, ideas for surviving motherhood, library story time ideas, ideas for my various LDS callings, Family Home Evening ideas, and whatever other random ideas that I have. I borrow ideas from the world of great minds and will try to give credit as much as possible. Thanks for dropping by!
