I was inspired to do colors for the lesson plan for next week. By looking outside the bright blue skies we have been having, the new green spring grasses that are growing, the warm yellow sun, and our Red tulips we just got, it's all just been inspiration. You may want to do all or just one. Through these lesson plans we will be able to cover most subjects, just change them as much as necessary to fit your child's grade level.
Blue Day
(Wear
all blue)
Breakfast: Blueberry
pancakes
Work books: Spelling, Grammar, and Math (use a blue colored pencil to complete school work, you may not want them to use this because you can't erase, but I thought it would make the work a little more fun and colorful)
Lunch: blue tortilla chicken nachos
Recess: Hula Hoop or Jump Rope
Writing: Write a story about the
day you woke up in an all blue world. Some children may be good writers once they have an idea, so try giving writing ideas.
Art/Art History: Paint all in blue just like Picasso did during his blue period. Read a little bit about him to your child as they work on their painting, you can find his life story online or you can find books at the library (you will definitely want to skim through this first his whole life story is not suitable for all ages)
Reading: Fun reading, for either your child to do on there own or you to do together. "Beyond The Land of Blue" by Ruth Olin and Judy Olin
Music: Listen to some
blues (I love to have a lot of diversity when it comes to music, I don't want my kids to grow up only knowing what they play on the radio)
Green Day
(wear all green)
Breakfast Spinach omlet
Work books (use a green colored pencil to complete school work)
Recess:Go for a nature walk at your local park or neighborhood take pictures

Art/Art History: Using pastels, let your child try and recreate Claude Monet's Japanese Footbridge
Talk about what inspired Monet's painting then discus what inspires your child and what they like to do when they feel inspired.

Using your own word, something that means a lot to you.
