Tot School- Week in Review
May
Hailey is 31 months old.
We are staying with my parents right now until it is time for the closing on our new house (we are hoping it will be this week or early next week). While we are here I don’t have to worry about packing or unpacking. So, we finally have time to do some Tot School activities again. Here is a review of what we did last week with links to the activities I posted about.

Our letter of the week was the letter M. We made this Mountain M.

When Hailey made her Mother’s Day cards for her grandmothers she decided she wanted to draw pictures of everyone. Here is picture of how her people turned out when she drew Gramma and Pa. Both of them have a head, 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes, a nose and a mouth. I thought they turned out pretty good for her first attempt at drawing people.

Hailey had fun just exploring and watching the colors mix together and change.

Our theme for the week was dinosaurs. We made this fun dinosour bones picture.

Hailey enjoyed playing with these dinosaur bones.

Hailey decorated a dinosaur and then we wrote a story about her dinosaur, Haily-o-saurus.

Hailey loved this mat and played with her dinosaurs on it.

Hailey really enjoyed making some dinosaur fossils.

This was the first time I have ever done a worksheet like this with Hailey. I think she’s ready to start working on following directions and coloring in the lines, rather than just free coloring all of the time. She did really well following directions and seemed to enjoy coloring the dinosaur foot prints.

We practiced shapes, colors and counting by making this shape dinosaur.

Hailey found some foam dinosaurs in my box of dinosaur related materials and wanted to glue them onto some paper.

Lastly Hailey did some practice cutting.
It was a great week! It was nice to get back into doing Tot School after taking a break to move. Check out 1+1+1=1 to see what the other tots did last week.

We have been busy getting ready to move but I have really been trying to make sure I get in a few Tot School activities with Hailey. Here’s what we did this week with links to the full posts about each activity:

Our letter of the week was L and we made a letter L with Lines on it.

We finished up our transportation theme this week. We made this fun train.

And we had a lot of fun making an airplane.

For our last art activity for the transportation theme we made this school bus.

Hailey is currently 28 months old.
Last Sunday we were busy enjoying my parents visiting us and I never got around to putting up our Tot School post. So, this week I am covering the last two weeks. Since we are in the process of selling our house I have cut back a bit on the amount of activities we have been doing.
Our letter of the week during the first week was J and since Hailey love The Veggie Tales we made a Junior J.

Our theme for the week was transportation and we started our week out by making this Shape Truck.

Hailey sorted these different vehicles from smallest to largest. She surprised me when she was able to do it without any help.

Hailey really enjoyed wheel painting. She was so excited to see the tracks she was leaving on the paper.

We also worked on retelling “The Little Engine That Could” and did this sequencing activity.
During week two we focused on the letter K and we continued with our transportation theme.

We made a King K.

Hailey loved making this fun sail boat.
