Tot School

Hunter is 28 months old.

Letter Q Activities:

(Printables for the letter Q are from 1+1+1=1 and Confessions of a Homeschooler.)

Hunter colored his Q paper.

 Hunter used colored pencils to color the quilt.

He stamped the letter Q onto the queen paper.  (He kept asking where the boy was to go with the queen.)

He filled up the letter Q with sequence.

Hunter loves using his do-a-dot markers.

We made a Q is for queen.  When he finished making the queen he asked if we could make a boy for her.

Sensory:

Hunter had a bin of buttons this week.  He spent a while looking over all over the buttons.

He also had a bin with bottle caps.

I put some shampoo in a ziploc bag and Hunter enjoyed playing with it.

Other:

Playing a matching game with a quilt.

Some shape practice.  Hunter really surprised me and wanted to do this activity several times.

ABC puzzle with some help from Hailey.

Hailey read “No, David” to Hunter.

Hunter wanted to color a picture of a boy to go with the Q for queen we made.  He thought for sure she needed to have someone.

Hunter’s Lego people did some traveling around the world.

Tot School

Hunter is 28 months old.

We had another fun and busy week at Tot School!

Letter P activities:

(Printables for the letter P are from 1+1+1=1 and Confessions of a Homeschooler.)

Hunter has been spending a lot more time on his coloring lately.  He really takes his time and then tells me what he is drawing.

Hunter put together a little letter P puzzle.

He really likes doing the lacing activities.

Tracing the letter P with his finger.

Lining up counting bears on the letter P.

Hunter used his do-a-dot markers to color the letter P.

He used water colors to paint the pencil paper.

P is for Pig.

Manipulatives:

I put Velcro dots on some colorful Popsicle sticks and then we practiced making different shapes with them.

He was very proud of his tower.

Working on lining up his counting bears.

Sensory bin:

We only did one sensory bin this week and Hunter loved it!  He requested it several times.  He sat and concentrated on transferring plastic eggs from the bowl to the bin.

Other:

Shape practice

Hunter has been asking for paper to just color on a lot the last couple of weeks.  Then he sits and works very quietly on making a picture.

Tot School

Hunter is 27 months old.

We’ve had a kind of crazy 2 weeks with the stomach bug going around our family.  It took us 2 weeks to do 1 weeks worth of activities, but we are finally all on the mend and back to normal (I hope).

Letter O Activities:

I used several printables from 1+1+1=1.  Hunter always starts out by coloring his letter of the week paper.  Some weeks he puts a few scribbles on the paper and says he is done.  Other times he spends a very long time coloring every part of the paper.

He tried his first lacing activity, and he did pretty well (with some help).

Putting together the letter O puzzle

Pointing out an O on the ostrich.

Hunter glued foam letter Os onto the ostrich.

We made an O is for Octopus.  Hunter spent a while using his do-a-dot markers to decorate the O.

The finished octopus.

After we sang the alphabet I asked Hunter to point to the letter O on his ABC board.  I expected him to (possibly) find the O flashcard.  Instead he pointed to an O on the boarder.  I was excited that he really recognized the letter O.

Manipulatives:

Hunter is just loving his blocks lately!

Working on a puzzle.

More building with the blocks.

Practicing his cutting with playdough.

Sensory bin:

The only sensory bin we did this week was with foam letters.

Other:

Painting with water colors… maybe all the other moms already know this, but I found a great way to do water colors with a toddler.  Before Hunter started painting, I took an eye dropper and dropped a few little drops of water into each color.  After a few minutes, the paint was all ready to use without Hunter having to remember to dip his brush in the water before the paint.

Tot School

Hunter is 27 months old.

We had a great week at Tot School this week!

Letter N activities:

We used several printables from COAH. Hunter lined up his counting bears on the letter N.

He traced the letter N with his finger.

Hunter glued noodles onto the N is for Nest paper.

He used his do-a-dot markers to dot the letter N.

I made a Nemo lapbook for Hunter.

Hunter enjoyed using his Nemo lapbook.

Hunter painted a letter N paper from 1+1+1=1.

We made an N is for numbers… and I found out that Hunter can identify some of his numbers.

Manipulatives:

Hunter sorted his bears.

Hunter worked on sorting his rainbow pegs by color.  It really bothered him that there wasn’t enough room for all of the colors to have their own row.  He kept taking pieces out and trying to make room for the purple pegs.

He liked making a necklace with the rainbow pegs.

He worked on pounding some nails.

Hunter did some building with some blocks.

Sensory bins:

I put sea shells in the sensory bin one day.  Hunter was not very interested in the shells.

I put macaroni noodles in his bin another day, which he loved.

Other:

Hunter had fun playing basketball with Hailey at swim and gym.
