Tot School

Hunter is 30 months old.

Letter V Activities:

We always start the week with a letter paper- this printable is from 1+1+1=1.

Hunter decorated a letter V to make our letter project.

V is for volcano.

Shapes:

The shape we concentrated on this week was the triangle.  I put painter’s tape onto a piece of paper and had Hunter paint all around the paper.

Then I peeled the tape off and we were left with this triangle.

Hunter practiced his shapes with this shape printable  from 1+1+1=1.  I put it on a cookie sheet, then asked him to find a shape, and he found the shape and put a magnetic pom pom on the shape I asked for.

Sensory:

Hunter played with Mickey and Minnie in this bin of pom poms.

Manipulatives:

Hunter and Hailey used our unifix cubes to build all sorts of things- but mostly swords to fight each other.

We used the magnetic pom poms again to practice numbers.

Other:

We are working on a super fun unit all about caterpillars and butterflies.  Hailey has read a different book each day during science.

For one craft we made these cute caterpillars- pom poms glued onto clothespins, then we added googly eyes.

The next day we put our caterpillars into toilet paper tubes and wrapped yarn around them to represent a chrysalis.

Then we colored coffee filters with washable markers and sprayed them with water.  When the colors run together it looks so pretty- we used these to turn our caterpillars into butterflies.

Hailey and Hunter made life cycle plates about the butterflies.  Hunter loves it when he gets to do whatever Hailey is doing!

Here is Hunter’s finished life cycle plate- eggs to larva (caterpillar) to pupa (chrysalis) to adult (butterfly).

We also made some butterfly sun catchers.

Here is Hunter’s finished butterfly.

We sang a song about a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.  Hailey and Hunter loved the song and the hand motions to go with it.  Here are the words that we sang:

I saw a caterpillar
climbing up a tree.
He wiggled and he wiggled,
he wiggled right at me.
I put him in a box,
“Stay right there,” I said.
But, when I opened up the box
a butterfly instead.
I couldn’t do it,
even if I tried.
Only God in heaven
could make a butterfly.
