A week in Tot school

So I have had this post done for a while but did not have use of my comp for a while, so there will be quite a few posts here hehe....

We finished up our "E" work this week by doing some "E" is for Elmo coloring pages.

 Then we did a lot of Dot Art.  She did letters A-E...

 And her shapes...

 Then I used our number cards and had her put play-do dots on the dots and count the numbers.  She really enjoyed this one!

Then we did a color matching game.  She had to find the two matching pieces and then put them together on their correct color mat.

Ada was working on opening and closing this week with the wipe box.  She also got to explore putting rings inside.

 Bella loved helping her with this activity :)

Abc Review & Letter E

Well we had another adventurous week.  We had doctors appointments, sick kiddos, sick grandparents and little help.  But surprisingly we got quite a bit of learning time in! So we finished some of our letter review that we didn't get to last week. 

One activity we did was she had stamps of all the letters we have learned and she then got to put them in the correct matching line.  She did ok with this.  I think the stamps themselves were a little small for her hands.

Then she had to match picture cards that had the Big and Little letter on each piece.  She did really well with this, but only enjoyed it moderately. lol

Next she used the same cards but had to find the match around the room.  She also had fun jumping on the matching letters.





Next she had to find the matching Little letter and put a play-do dot on it to mark it.  She was able to locate them really quickly!

Then I rolled out the play-do and had her stamp the letters and numbers we have learned and tell me what they were.

Next I had her working with Wikki Stix.  She really enjoyed this.  It is still challenging to her though, so i think we will do this one some more.

She was very particular in how she laid the folded ones down.  The folded ends were always on the same side.  Her face is an expression of  "I have to fold this perfectly!!!!"

So then we went on to some "E" work.

Play-do pre-writing...

Case differentiating with Dot Markers...

Dot art...

Placing pink stickers on our letter...

"E" is for Elephant Pre-writing...

"E" is for Elmo finger painting!!!

For our Colors we used our Bears.

She had to match the bear to the color circle.

Then she matched her bears to the correct egg.  This wasn't a hit so much.

She instead wanted to pretend her eggs were cameras.....

And her bears need to be rocked to sleep...

 Then we got our sensory bin out and played snow ball fight with our styrofoam balls, since we have had the lousiest winter ever here lol.

I am not going to but our Bible theme work on here.  We are doing Easter themes from here on out so I will have special posts for the that.  But here is a sneak peak of one of our projects.  I will put at the bottom under resources some of the easter links I'm using.

 Ada has been trying to figure out how to put the cake back together....

 ...And decided her mouth might be helpful, but found out tasted AWFUL! lol :)

 Caiden has been working on opening and closing anything he can find! Here he is working on the play fridge :)

Best Buds!

Blueberry Madness!!!!
