My friend Jennie, a kindergarten teacher, and her daughter Josie (4 1/2) created this awesome doorway activity list for Josie's room. She said she was inspired by my list, but man, I'm inspired by hers!
Together they came up with ideas of fun things they wanted to try this summer and wrote each on a cute little paper animal cutout. I forgot to ask where she got them -- probably some special teacher only source, but who knows, maybe not. I'll have to find out. I love how colorful and festive they all look together.
Josie wrote a few herself, although Jennie wrote most.
And here is a photo of Josie's first choice off her summer list -- "Take Wilson to the Do-It-Yourself Dog Wash." Apparently it was fun and Wilson was a champ. Their plan is to take each paper shape and stick it in a journal with a photo of the activity. I love that idea! Jennie says, "I have finally come to understand that I do better with a little plan and a little -go with the flow- moments during the day." Amen to that.
Now I'm completely inspired to sit down with Maia and make our own summer list...
