Tot School

Nature Bear

Bear saw a moth that makes itself look like owl eyes to scare off predators. She also visited a goat farm and saw a miniature pony.

Math Bear

Bear practiced one to one correspondence by placing large beads in an egg carton. We put a Montessori spin to it by having her use tongs to transfer the beads. We counted them as she transferred them.

She matched colored buttons onto a strip of colored circles.

She completed a foam number puzzle and we counted quite a bit. We have the book Five Monkeys Jumping on The Bed so we are counting to five a lot lately.

Bear is really into puzzles - challenging ones that require much scaffolding from Mommy.

Fine Motor Skills and Gross Motor Skills Bear

She poked toothpicks into styrofoam and placed all those clothespins up in that top middle photo on the side of the yogurt container by herself. She chose this activity all by herself one day.

Bear has been using her slide every day and of course climbing everywhere she can possibly climb.

Language Bear

We read LOTS of books as usual. Bear had Mommy tell her many stories. We played with the felt board and retold stories with the puppets and felt board pieces. Our focus this week has definitely been story telling and not the alphabet!

Art Bear

Bear painted with sand and made monoprints. She drew and played with play doh.
