Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is 36 months old (my baby turned 3 this week!).

Here is a review of the activities we did last week with links to the original posts with more details and activities.

Letter Activities:

Hailey painted the letter Bb blue.

Our letter this week was the letter B.  We made this cute Bb is for Bumble Bee.

Hailey loved making this Bb is for Bandaid Butterflies.

We have four word cards each week to go along with our letter of the week.  Hailey is practicing her letter B words.

Theme activities:

We learned about fall and leaves last week.  Hailey loved making several leaf rubbings.

We made these pretty fall leaves by coloring coffee filters with markers and then spraying them with water.  The colors blend together and make very pretty leaves.

Hailey learned the names of the parts of a tree.

Hailey made a “Where is the Leaf?” book to practice words like under, on, in, behind and over.

Hailey also learned about making patterns.

Color and Shape activities:

Hailey wanted to why yellow and blue make green.

Playing our own version of Twister was a great way to practice colors and to focus on circles.

Tot School- Week in Review

(Hailey is 35 months old.)

It has been a long time since we participated in Tot School.  We got busy with our move and then busy enjoying summer and I just ran out of time to participate.  But we are back!  Our first week back to Tot School was the week of Sept 21st, right after we came home from Disney World.  We had a great vacation but we all came home sick- so our first week was kind of a slow week.  Here’s what we did:

Our letter of the week was the letter A and our theme was Apples.

We made this Aa is for Apple page for what will be our alphabet book.  You can see all of our A  Activities here.

We made the Seasons of the Apple Tree- we made one page for each season to show how the apple tree looks during each season.  You can see how we did the Seasons of the Apple tree here.

We made this very simple Paper Plate Apple.

As you can see it was a pretty light week in terms of projects.  We were feeling much better last week so I will have a lot more to share during this coming week.

Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is 32 months old.

Here’s what we’ve been up to over the last week:

We drew a little town on the patio- we had some stores, a church, a school, a house, a playground, roads, etc.  Hailey played for a long time driving her cars on the road and putting her little people in the buildings.

Hailey took her grass that we planted in a cup several weeks ago and planted it outside.

She found a worm and held it for a little while before letting it go and watching it dig back into the dirt.

Hailey made a T is for Train picture for our letter of the week.

We had a failed attempt creating some fireworks for the 4th of July.

We made some sparkly fireworks that turned out pretty.

We finished the week by making an American Flag.

Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is 32 months old.

I ran out of time last Sunday and never got my Tot School post done.  So this week I’m posting about what we did over the last 2 weeks.  For some reason it seems like we haven’t had as much time lately so there aren’t a whole lot of activities.  I have links to the activities that I posted about already.

For our letter R we made this Rainbow R.

We were working on an ocean theme and we made this Hermit Crab.

After about 3 weeks of ocean activities we finished up by making this Seahorse.

Hailey loved this game I found in one of my Mailbox magazines.  There are several different colored houses that you lay out on the floor and then hide a little mouse under one of the houses.  Then we said, “Little mouse, little mouse, are you in the [purple] house?”  She loved it!!

We moved on to a theme about outer space and made this Star S for our letter of the week.

We used shaving cream and glue to make a full moon.

Then we made a space shuttle.

Hailey used her Thomas the Train game to make a triangle.
