TOT-School Week 11

B is 19 months old

We finally got back into the school groove this week after a couple of off weeks. This week we did a little work with the letter Ss and just getting B to say new words. He has been a little slow to talk. Our Bible Story this week was Ruth and Naomi. We also spent a lot of time reading several Corduroy Board Books.




B turned the number 8 into a spider. We added 8 1/2 pipe cleaners for legs and wiggle eyes for the eyes and then he decorated it with sequins.



B put foil star stickers on an upper case and a lower case Ss.



B turned an S into a snake and decorated it with glitter foam shapes. We talked a lot about the colors and shapes of the foam pieces.



B laced a leaf. He really did a good job holding it by himself and lacing it.



We made squirrel headbands and we put coffee grounds on the tail to make it look fluffy!


He also played a lot with his telephone. He loves pushing the buttons!


B worked with his shape sorter.



B made a squirrel by painting glue on a squirrel shape and then covering it with coffee gounds. He loved the feel of the grounds. Then he added a wiggle eye.





B spent a lot of time playing with his Fisher Price Farm. He loves to make the animal sounds.




B made a spider web using a black paper plate and white yarn. He weaved the yarn around the paper plate that I had cut slits in. Then he took foam spiders and added them to the web. S for spide.



B made a fall tree. We painted his hand and arm for the tree trunk and branches and then he make fingerprints for the leaves in red, orange, and yellow.

Preschool Week 11

C is 43 months old

We finally had a somewhat normal week. We got back into the preschool routine. This week we focused on the letter Ss and Fall. We did Spiders, snakes, squirrels, and scarecrows. We also worked on recognizing numbers to 20 and making patterns. Our Bible story this week was Ruth and Naomi. We read the story from several different Preschool and Toddler Bibles. We also colored a picture of Ruth gathering the grain. Hopefully next week we will do some painting with grain or the tall grass that looks like grain.



We read this alphabet book that I got at the Christian Book Store and both of the boys just love it and we read it at least 15 times this week.




C made a spider out of the number 8. He put on 8 legs using pipe cleaners and tape. Then he decorated the front with wiggle eyes and sequins.


C did the S tracing and writing worksheet from starfall.com.



C turned an S into a snake and then put shapes on it in a pattern. His pattern was circle, circle, square--aab aab.



C put stars on Ss. We just used the foil stars from Walmart.



C played a game where he had to count out the number of acorns to match the number the squirrel was holding. The game was from 1-12. Thia idea came from kidsoup.com



We made squirrel headbands using coffe grounds to make the tail look fluffy. The boys loved these and wore them all week.




C created a squirrel. He cut out the squirrel and then painted glue all over it and then sprinkled coffee grounds on it to make it look fluffy. He then added a wiggle eye.



Tracing an acorn to work on fine motor skills.


Creating a scarecrow.




C spent some time playing with his Little People Farm. We had been talking about Harvest time with our Bible story of Ruth and Naomi so he said he was bringing in the Harvest. He also did a great job of playing and sharing with his brother with this actiity.




We created spider webs by weaving white yarn around a black paper plate that I had cut slits in. Then C added foam spiders to his web.




We made fall trees by painting our hand and arm brown and then using fall leaf colors and fingerprints to make the leaves. C said his tree looked just like the one outside of our kitchen window.
