Happy Schedulin Sunday! It’s that time again.
Pinterest sucks us in…which is totally lesson planning because we’re getting inspiration and ideas!
The printer is humming away.
The laminator is heating up.
We’re checking Facebook and Instagram for lesson ideas (of course…not for any other reasons!)
Anyways….here are our plans for the week!
And of course, you can always snag my lesson plans by clicking on the picture!
We’re continuing our journey around the world this week with our holidays around the world adventure!
This week we’re off to France, Sweden, Australia and The Netherlands!
We will be reading these books this week: (click the books to see them on Amazon)
For each country my ‘staches receive a personalized airplane ticket! Then we use Google Earth to fly off to our country. We read our story and complete our country chart. Then we fill in our research journals. Finally, we make a craft for each country. And of course, we must stamp our passport!
Here are a few pictures from our holidays around the world adventures last week!
