October Routines and Plans

Now that I am staying home and not working in the classroom this year, one thing that I have missed very much is celebrating the themes/holidays so common in elementary school. Apples, pumpkins, Halloween, etc. are always so fun to teach with the littles.

So I have decided that instead of missing out on all of the fun because I am  not in the classroom, I would bring those activities to my little girl. She is only 9 months old, but very curious. I have created the following calendar that we will follow for the month of October.

Because my daughter is so young, we are only doing one activity per day. On the days where there is no activity, it is because we have other plans or family visiting so I didn't want to commit myself to an activity on that day. Also, there are no weekends. I have also included Library/story time on Wednesdays because that is when it is scheduled for us. We also try to read every day at home as well.

We will use the following weekly routine in order to keep us organized.

The ideas that I have gathered are a combination from Pinterest, other teachers, SAHMS, bloggers, and myself. Please note that I have not tried these activities yet, but will be trying them for the first time this month. I try to use items that are from Dollar Tree, Target Dollar Spot, Michael's, or other items I already had on hand from when I was in the classroom.

At the end of the month, I will post some of our highlights, but you can follow my IG account https://www.instagram.com/dabblingindifferentiation/ to see daily/weekly posts with our activities.

Have a great month!
