Tot School

Bear is 26 months


My mom was here this week so Bear got a lot of French practice.
I am kind of in a rut.
Didn't plan anything new this week.
Same old, same old.

Alphabet/Literacy

The Great Sort was continued.
We read a lot of books as usual.


Numbers/Math Concepts

Playing grid games (thanks Teach Mama)
Doing one-to-one correspondence cards

Sorting by Size


Fine Motor Skills

Puzzles

Drawing lines from one object to another
Cutting
Clothespin matching activity


Gross Motor Skills

I totally lack in this area and could probably use some clever ideas.
Anyone reading this have any?

Art

Snail Prints
Potato Prints
Coffee Filter Leaves

    I love the alphabet in a box idea, we will definitely be making one of these in a few months. I need to start gathering materials!

    Looks like you did a lot! I need to organize more activities for my kids like this...

    ((Hug)) for you.

    Turbo and I enjoy Twister or Stomp.
    You can see us playing at www.all-about-the-journey.blogspot.com

    Just grab some paper, write a number, letter, picture, or word on each one. Stand with Bear, let her pick one, then together run over and STOMP on it (with great gusto). Or you can put them close together and play twister (put right hand on letter a; left hand on 2 etc.) It's a fun way to get the energy out while learning.

    French practice is always good! And I love using the wrenches for sorting - I'll have to get my husband involved in a similar activity... :)

    I love the size sorting! M is such an active boy I don't have to really think of gross motor skill activities for him, he just comes up with them on his own. One thing he loves to do is put all the pillows from our couch and loveseat (they are pillow backs)on the floor and hop from one to another. He calls them lilypads and he is a frog. :) Also there are some fun movement cards at Sparklebox. You had a great week! Thanks for sharing!
