Tot School
Hunter is 22 1/2 months old.
We had a fun week at Tot School!
I just have to say that as you look at the pictures you might notice that Hunter is wearing the same shirt every day. He has recently become quite attached to his Lightning McQeen pajama shirt. He insists on wearing all. of. the. time! I decided that if we are not leaving the house I am not fighting that battle with him. So, that is why he always has it on 🙂
Hunter’s letter this week was the letter D.
He made a “D is for Dinosaur” using an idea I saw at Homeschool Creations.
Hunter loves the do-a-dot markers and had fun stamping the letter D from COAH.
Hunter practiced his counting, using these fun dinosaur numbers. (from COAH)
I had Hunter use this printable to practice color sorting. (from COAH)
We have been learning all about bats, so Hunter had fun making a bat craft.
Hunter’s finished bat.
We learned how a mother bat uses her sense of smell to find her baby bat. I dipped cotton balls into different things like vinegar, vanilla, coffee and perfume. I let Hailey pick a “baby” and then I blind folded her and had her find her “baby” using her sense of smell. We had a lot of fun doing that, so Hunter wanted to be a part too. He loved smelling the different cotton balls!
Hailey just started a spider unit and this was our first experiment. We learned how spiders eat their prey by injecting venom into it, which turns the insect into liquid and then the spider drinks the food. So, Hunter wanted to do the experiment too! We put our prey (a sugar cube) in a cup. Then we injected it with venom (water) and drank our prey. They both loved it!
We made a spider glyph, which you can see here. Hunter made his the way he wanted and didn’t really care about the directions 😉 I love how his spider turned out!
