Movie - Tink/Peter Pan Lesson Plans Resources

To begin the week, the first thing I will do will be to print out coloring book pages and activity sheets that my children can work on independently throughout the week.  Here are some links to print out activity sheets and coloring book pages:

Day 4: Make garden party lights for our snack on day 5: Garden Party Lights  Also, make a Tinkerbell to hang up using a coffee filter and clothespin: Tink
Day 5: Decorate our houses with pinwheels: Vidia's Wind Wheel

Snacks:
From the same website as I used in the link above for the Tink made with a coffeee filter and clothespin, they posted these ideas for food:
Serve up as an appetizer; tasty fairy wands for the kids to snack on. These are easy to make by just dipping some large pretzel sticks in white chocolate or dark chocolate and giving them a good coating of sprinkles. The main course for your Tinkerbell party can be Tink’s Magic Pizza, a homemade pizza with magically colored dough. A few drops of blue or red food coloring when you are mixing up the pizza dough should be good enough. Make the magic pizza even more special by giving it a stuffed crust using mozzarella string cheese. Dessert is Tinkerbell’s Honeydew and Blueberry Ambrosia for everyone to enjoy. In addition, we will serve up Tink's trail mix:  Trail Mix  (I will make this up at the beginning of the week and it will be our snack as we go through the unit.)

We will be reading the book, Peter Pan.  You can purchase the book from Amazon Peter Pan and the follow up book, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (the kindle version is free right now). 

I teach my children by using unit studies.  Here are two lesson plans aready done for Peter Pan.  The first one, Lesson plans by Chapter  has journal writing, etc., to be used chapter by chapter.  I will use this one as we read the book.  The second one, Unit Study is pulling more ideas out and expanding on them.  I really like both approaches since we need to work on both areas.  Therefore, I will combine the two.  (and I can access both of these for free)

There are several other concepts which can be pulled out of Peter Pan and are worth exploring in this unit:

Simple Machines

Shadows

England

Crocodiles

Leadership

Map Skills

Rotation of the Earth

Division of Labor - It takes a Village

Nurse Maids - History lessons

I will update this post as we begin working to incorporate the above concepts into our plans.  Really, this lesson could go on for a month, easily!
