Tot School-Blocks

We officially started Tot School with Carson.  Not schooling but playing.  

We played for about 5-10 minutes (really however long he wanted).  

Carson is currently 10 months and 1 day old

Theme:  Blocks

They really just kept going in his mouth but we tried to show him that there were other ways to play with them.

 Caden put that Elmo doll next to him and he didn't seem to like it.

He loved them in the bowl.  It was so hard to keep the blocks in the bowl.  He literately would throw the bowl across the room!

 Then we put the blocks into a wipe container.  He just wanted to close the top.

 I closed the top and showed him how to push them through the hole.  

He wasn't interested for very long.

You can see by his face how he liked to play pee-a-boo with the blocks.  He wasn't a fan. 

Oh, older brothers!  Should I say more!

Tot School and Raising Rock Star Preschool- Letter M/Small Mammals

 Hannah is currently 3 years and 2 months old

 Caden is currently 4 years and 7 months old

Caden color by number.

Hannah dot painting her mouse and using heart stickers.

Hannah traced the letter M.

Hannah's M is on the left and Caden's M is on the right.  I had them make a letter M with the foam pieces I gave to them.  Caden did it by himself and Hannah needed help.  We also put money under a piece of paper and colored over it with a crayon and then they cut and glued their money on their M paper.

Hannah cut and glued her letter M pictures on her letter m.

Hannah did the letter M match.

I had them both use tissue paper to decorate our verse of the week from Raising Rock Stars Preschool.

 Finished Product.  Hannah's on left Caden's on right.

 Carissa from 1+1+1=1 posted on her post from You Can Read posts that she used a worksheet from The Moffatt Girls blog and I went to check it out and she had this awesome caterpillar to review sight words.  Caden does great with it, especially when he gets a treat depending on how many he gets right.  Check out her sight.

 Hannah wanted to get a treat also so I had her review her colors.

Tot School- Letter N/Bugs

Hannah is currently 37 1/2 months old

Our week has been lots of fun. Sorry I have not been catching a lot of our Homeschooling lately. We have still been schooling but just not posting.

I have changed things up a bit, due to Hannah's interest. We are using 1+1+1=1's themes from Tot School. I am also using some Tot School print outs, Letters of the Week and we still use Itty Bitty Book Worm.

Letter of the Week: N
Theme: Bugs

Bug Sensory Bin
(more sensory bin ideas go here)

Matching bugs

Catching bugs.  We got the net and tongs at Michael's.

Oh, and she loved these wind up bugs we also got at Michael's.  Or at Amazon.

Filling up her bug container with marbles.  We talked about small and large.

Letter N activities from Tot School Printables.

 Bug sun catcher.

Bee craft

 I do not remember what these are called...maybe bugs in a capsule.  I got it from the dollar store.  You put them in water and wait, wait, and wait and then a bug will come out of the capsule.

 Painting a bird house.

Completed bird house.

 Bird nest craft.  We got this from Oriental Trading.

 Letter N match from Confessions of a Homeschooler Letter of the Week.
