Tot School- Week in Review

We had another great week of Tot School!  Here is a review of what we did this week with links to the activities I posted about. 

This week we were reviewing letters E-H so we didn’t have a new Letter of the Weekacitivity.  So, instead here are a couple of things we did to review those letters.

Hailey used our letter cookie cutters to cut letters out of her playdough.

One day for lunch I cut Hailey’s grilled cheese sandwich into letters.

We read “The Mitten” by Jan Brett and then made a mitten and the animals.  Hailey retold the story and acted it out by putting the animals into the mitten.

We finished up our winter theme by making this penguin.

The we started our Valentine’s Day theme by making a heart wreath.

We finished up our week by making this heart suncatcher.

Tot School- Week In Review

We had another fun filled and busy week of Tot-School.  Here is a sampling of what we did, with links to the activities I posted about. 

Our letter of the week was H so we made this letter H with hearts on it.

We did a fun little finger play called Disappearing Snowman Cookies and I made this little poster to go with it.

We made this Salt Dough Snowman and then decorated him.

Hailey used her foam blocks to build a train.

The weather was too cold to get outside, so I brought some snow inside for Hailey to play with.

We kept a cup of snow inside and checked on it throughout the day to see what would happen.

Then we made some delicious snowman cookies and Hailey had a blast decorating them.

Tot School- Week in Review

It’s been quite a while since I’ve participated in Tot School but I am going to try to get back into posting our Tot School activities every week.  Here are some of the activities we did last week with links to the activities I posted about. 

 Our letter of the week this week was G.  So Hailey made this Glittery Green G.

It’s been too cold to play outside so we made this fun indoor boxy snowman.

Hailey made this simple snowman.

Hailey loved working on her Melissa and Doug sound puzzle.

Hailey does very well at spelling her name.

Hailey loves working on her shapes.  When she got this puzzle back in October she had a hard time getting the triangle pieces in.  Now she has it all figured out and finishes very quickly.

Hailey painted a snowstorm.

We baked some yummy cutout cookies.

Hailey worked on her letter puzzle.

We had a fantastic, fun filled week!  Stop by 1+1+1=1 to see more Tot School participants.

Letter of the Week- Letter E

Our letter of the week last week was the letter E.

We started out our week with our usual letter paper to decorate.  This week Hailey simply colored the letter E with crayons.  Later I cut it out and glued it onto construction paper and posted it on our refrigerator.  Each week she does one of these for our letter of the week and we always use something different to decorate the letters (colored pencils, markers, water colors, finger paints, etc.)

Then we made this Letter E Elephant, an idea I found at No Time for Flashcards.

Here’s what you’ll need: a large E, an extra piece of construction paper in the same color as your E to make a trunk and an ear for the elephant, something to decorate your E with (we used the dobbers), glue and another piece of construction paper in a different color.

Decorate the E, the trunk and ear.

The finished letter E Elephant.

Then we made this Elmo:

Here’s what you’ll need: An Elmo template printed on card stock, toilet paper roll, red paint, and something to paint with.

Paint the toilet paper roll and the Elmo template red.

Once it’s dry cut out the Elmo pieces and glue them onto the toilet paper roll.

The finished Elmo.
