Summer Week 12: Back to School

Posted on May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 by Liz

This week is all about winding down summer and easing into our school routine for the following Tuesday. I have some things planned to keep any jitters busy and distracted, but we will totally be playing this last week of summer by ear and pivoting as needed! What We’re Reading: The Pigeon Has to Go…

Summer Week 11: Art Studio

Posted on May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 by Liz

A lot of weekly themes this summer pack in more science and history, so I wanted a week where we could focus on ART and do lots and lots of creating. It felt fitting to slot this week toward the end of the summer when we could have a bit of a brain break and…

Summer Week 10: Poop (& Potty Training!)

Posted on May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 by Liz

I’m REALLY hoping that we’re psyched up and ready for this week when it arrives. Greer is already showing signs she’s getting ready, so I’m going with the mindset that this week will be a cakewalk. Yes…it is potty training week. So to piggyback on the theme for Crew, we will be learning about the…

Summer Week 9: Food

Posted on May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 by Liz

My kids are picky eaters — so let’s call this reverse psychology week. Ha! I’m trying to expand their horizons just a nudge, and make it a little more visible to Crew, specifically, how much food actually costs, and the time it takes to plan and cook a real meal from start to finish. As…

Summer Week 8: Animals & Habitats

Posted on May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 by Liz

This is another week that Crew will be busy with a day camp, so much of this week is geared toward Greer’s level. She is our BIG animal lover, so it was easy to take this idea and run with it! What We’re Reading: Lifesize — we have both this and the dinosaur version. The…

Summer Week 7: Outer Space

Posted on April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 by Liz

Crew is fascinated by the vastness of space and Greer is obsessed with looking for the moon right now, so this was an easy theme to work into our summer weeks! What We’re Reading: Smithsonian Space Kit — This was actually what set this week in motion for me. I spotted this at Costco (I…

Summer Week 6: USA Landmarks

Posted on April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 by Liz

My red white and blue heart can’t wait for this week — it might have been my favorite one to plan! I love the festivities that surround this week anyway, and finding ways to explain to my kids WHY we celebrate brought it all full circle for me. While it would be easy to run…

Summer Week 5: Weather

Posted on April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 by Liz

In Iowa, we get it all from snow and ice to the hottest humidity. Crew still remembers the derecho that came through two summers ago and ever since has been skiddish of storms, so I’m hoping this unit helps him put a little more understanding to the fear. As for Greer, she loves it all…
