Welcome to Mommy School- D is for dinosaurs

Ever since my little boy turned two I have tried to have a little learning time, and since I like to have lists and pretend to be organized I would try to put something together with a theme. Well it was ok, but I didn't really know how to do it so I tried looking up ideas online but I got frustrated since there is so much material out there, I didn't know what was good. So a few months ago I found this website Oopsey Daisy, she used to be a teacher but now stays home with her little boy, and she started putting up her lesson plans she did for her son. Well I fell in LOVE with them, this idea really got my mind going and it was something I have been trying to do unsuccessfully for a while. So I started doing my own. At first I did stuff every day but since my Older boy goes to preschool two times a week, I only do most of the stuff the days he is home, and the other days he is at school I do a younger version for my younger boy. So I will try posting my lesson plans and some of my websites if you want to give it a try.



A few weeks ago we did D is for dinosaurs! I was so excited since the boys have lots of stuff and they LOVE those silly dinos!
To see or download my lesson plan go here. This plan is totally changeable and I left room to change things around. I didn't do friday since I was going out of town that week.
Here are a few pictures of the things we did-
We decorated the letter D with foam dino stickers I got at the dollar store.


We played a matching game where my older boy matched the big and little letter d's. It was a great game for him to learn upper and lower case letters. And shocker- he totally got it and loved doing it!



We colored a picture of dinosaurs- gotta have coloring right?!


A few other things we did was I hid some of their plastic dino toys in a bin filled with dried beans, and we went on a dino hunt to find them once we found them all we counted how many we had, we stomped like dinosaurs, we read Tadpole Rex which my boys LOVED, and many dino books from the library.

Here are the sites I got my ideas from-
