TOT-School Weeks 25 and 26

To learn more about Tot-School and get some great ideas to do with your toddler go to Tot-School.






B is 23 months old!
B is finally feeling better!! Boy February was just not his month. We go back to the Dr. for an ear re-check this Friday so hopefully after that we will be on the mend.

The past two weeks we have gotten a little Tot-school done and we have just had a lot of fun.

Last week our Bible story was Martha and Mary and then this week it was Moses. I think we may spend some more time with Moses next week!

We got to enjoy a fresh 5 inches of snow last Tuesday and the boys both loved it. WE had snowball fights, built snowmen and snowbears and just enjoyed nice family time together. We also enjoyed making and eating snow cream!!
The snow







Snow Cream!! YUM!!!


B got to build a Lowebot car from Lowes. He loves to use a hammer and he is actually quite good at hammering in nails.





He got to see Curious George Live. George is one of his favorites so he LOVED this show!!


Last week we read The Mitten by Jan Brett and B made a paper mitten and then laced it and he colored the animals from the story that we printed of janbrett.com. He would help me put the animals in the mitten as we read the story.

B also did a M is for mitten magnet page from making learning fun. He used dot markers to paint his.


We also read The Hat by Jan Brett. He colored a hedgie from the website and then used the scrap box to make a hat for Hedgie to wear. B just loves getting the glue out!!




Trains



Puzzles
B is really getting into puzzles. He has a birthday coming up so I hope he will get a few new ones then.



This past week we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss. We read a ton of great Dr. Seuss books and then we reread many of them. B's favorites were The Cat in the Hat and Put Me in the Zoo. He made a cat in the hat hat to wear and then he painted a paper plate and a hat and created a Cat in the Hat. This ttemplate came from Making learning fun. He also put together a dog from Put Me in the Zoo and used Dot markers to paint the spots and he did a Z is for Zoo Magnet page using dot markers again.








Even though B was not himself last week we did seem to get a lot done over the past two weeks. We have had a lot of fun and we love having daddy hope to play with us in the snow!!

Preschool Week 26

For other great preschool ideas check out preschool corner.

We had a really great week this week. We got about 5 inches of snow on Tuesday and we had tons of fun playing in it. The boys are getting very good at throwing snowballs. Especially at me and daddy!!

We also celebrate Dr Seuss this week. We read and reread a ton of Dr. Seuss books and did several activities.

Our Bible story this week was about Baby Moses. We talked a lot about how God watches over us and keeps us safe. C has also been full of questions about heaven. We have talked a lot about heaven since both of his grandmothers are in heaven and he never got to meet them. He will look at pictures of them and ask all sorts of questions about heaven and what heaven is like. He also wanted to know if he would see Papaw's dog, Sheba in heaven one day. I am so glad that he is so interested in God, heaven and that he is so excited do do our daily devotion time and read Bible stories.


The Snow
We got 5 inches of beautiful snow and the boys had an absolute blast playing in it. We had snowball fights, made a snowman, a snowbear, and just tons of fun!!





Snow Cream!!
What is a good snow without snow cream??? We made a big bowl and the boys thought it was just yummy!!!



On Saturday we went to Lowes to build a Lowbot car and robot but we got there too late. So they gave us a kit and we took ti home and built it. It has been the favorite toy this week!



Dr. Seuss
This week we celebrate Dr. Seuss and read many stories. C is really into rhyming right now so he loves these stories.





The Cat in the Hat



We made cat in the hat hats and then we made our own cat in the hat using a paper plate and a template from Making Learning Fun. C. loved it because he got to paint and use the glue.

We also made Green Eggs and Ham but of course I forget to get a picture of it!

Put Me In the Zoo
C made a dog from Put me in the Zoo that we got the template of Making Learning Fun. He used the dot painters to paint the spots. Then we did the Z is for Zoo magnet page using the dot markers.


Mr. Brown Can Moo
C is very into learning sight words right now so I found an emergent reading on Making Learning fun that went along with the story Mr Brown Can Moo. C worked on the word can and he circled all the cans in the story. He can now read the book.



C has a cookie monster workbook and he worked on the Aa and Bb pages. It is helping him learn how to form the letters.
