Tot School Week in Review

Hailey is 31 months old.

This week we talked about the Ocean and the letter O.  Here is what we did this week with links to the activities I posted about.

We made an Ocotpus O.

We learned about Jellyfish and made a Jellyfish using a paper plate.

We pretended that we caught some fish in the ocean and made a fish aquarium to keep them in.

Hailey learned about turtles and made a very easy paper plate turtle.

Hailey watched Finding Nemo for the first time.  There was so much in the movie that I have been teaching her about regarding the ocean that it was just perfect.  She did really well watching it.

We have been keeping an eye on the grass that we planted and taking pictures of the progress it has been making.  I made some cards for Hailey to sequence from the day we planted the seeds until the grass had grown nice and tall and green.

Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is 31 months old.

We had another great week of Tot School.  Our letter this week was the letter N and our theme was spring.  Here are the activities that we did this week with links to the activities that I posted about during the week.

Our letter of the week was the letter N, so we made this Numbers N.

Our theme this week was spring- here is what worked on:

We made a book about How to Plant a Seed.

Then we planted some grass seed in a cup and we have been watching it all week.

Then we talked about how trees look different in the winter versus the spring and made a really pretty spring tree.

Hailey worked on sorting umbrellas by color.

We painted outside with water.

Hailey practiced pouring some bubble solution.

And, of course, she loved playing with her bubbles.

We pretended to make a garden and Hailey decided that she would plant some cucumber seeds  in her garden.

We made a spring counting book- here is one of the pages from the book- after Hailey colored I gave her three pieces of orange felt to glue on.

This is another page from Hailey’s spring counting book- we used a red stamp pad for this page and used Hailey’s finger to make prints for the ladybugs.  Then I used a black marker to make them look like ladybugs.

We also made some yummy brownies.

We had a fun and busy week.  Check out what the other tots have been up to over at 1+1+1=1.

Tot School- Week in Review

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.

Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is currently 29 months old.

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.
