Mommy School Week 1: A for Airplane

This year for school, Ender, Armour and I are doing Mommy school. Mostly Ender & I, and Armour is doing easier things that go along. I decided to teach the weeks by going letter by letter through the alphabet and choosing a theme to base all the lessons on for the week. This week we have been doing A fr Airplanes. As part of it, we took a field trip to the Strategic Air and Space museum. This is what our lesson plans for the week have been. In the future, I will post the weekly lesson plans before the week begins.

Monday: A for Airplane ABC's project.
Tuesday: Geography/PE lesson-kids were airplanes and we looked at a US map and constructed our own map on our lawn, marking locations they might want to go (home in Omaha, Spokane, SLC, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Wisconsin, Kentucky, NYC...) Then we played a game where they pretended to be airplanes flying to all those places. We also read the first chapter in a small biography of the Wright Brothers.
Wednesday: Solace had half day so we went to the museum. We first read a book at home about the different kinds of planes. When we got there we talked about the planes and we took note of the different kinds. We especially noted if each plane was a jet or a propeller plane. It was fun. We also did an art project where we drew some of the airplanes we saw. It was awesome!
Thursday: We were supposed to finish the Wright Brothers book, but we had no time yesterday and are doing that and our Friday lesson today.
Friday: Practice writing big and little A's, Finish Wright Brothers book, make and race our own paper airplanes (will probably do this part this evening when dad & Sol can do it with us-some things are just more fun with a bigger crowd.)

Here are some museum pics:
