Tot School- Week of Aug 24

Tot School
Lil'man is 20 months

This week I had a lot planned, knowing that I wouldn't get to all of it.  As a previous teacher, I know it is always better to plan more than not have enough.  My goal is that each activity will last for 30 min.  This is not always the case.  This week, we didn't even get through all the activities because Lil'man was very interested in the new Pom Poms that I had purchased, which were not on the lesson plan.  However, that is the nice part about being a SAHM, instead of a teacher.  As a SAHM, I can go with the flow and totally skip the lesson plan altogether.  As a public school teacher, I was a little more limited and I had to get through so much material in a given amount of time.  So knowing that, check out the slide show below to see what Tot School actually looked like this past week.

  3. I agree that it's so nice to be able to skip the planned stuff if something else is holding their interest. Great slide show! :)
