Tot School- 2 Weeks Worth

Lil’man is 37 months.

 

MIA. Yep.  This blog was on the back burner last week.  Oh, wait…I started with that same sentence a couple of weeks ago.  =)

 

So, I was a slacker again when it comes to my blog, but I’m ok with it. 

 

Moving right along.  Let me share our favorite activities from the last couple of weeks.  We have loved the last few units.  We worked on Polar Lands and Space.  As always, these are just some of the things we did. You can see other activities in action from these units by visiting Amber at The Belly of The Whale.

 

Language Arts: During both units we worked on spelling.  We did more, but evidently I didn’t take any pictures or I lost them.  Both options very possible.

Polar Lands

Space

 

Here are the books that we are read during our Polar Lands Week:

Math Concepts:  During our Polar Lands week Lil’man feed a penguin cheerios. 

He did shape constellations during our Space week.

He also counted the planets and compared the sizes to find out how many were bigger than Earth.

 

Books we wish we could have read during our Space unit, but we only had a few of them available at our library:

Science: We used 2-piece puzzles to match tracks to the right animal in our Polar Lands unit.

We got some snow, so we made an arctic sensory tub.  Then we made some snow observations, using our observation sheet.

He was introduced to the phases of the moon in our Space week. The boy wasn’t feeling this activity on this day.  I’m not sure if it was due to the fact that he didn’t have a nap,  didn’t want to do tot school, or the activity was difficult. 

We also matched our printable planets to our flash cards that Amber found for us in the Target Dollar Spot at the beginning of the school year.  And color a few pictures.

 

Extra: For our Polar Lands family night we made an Iceberg dessert.  I didn’t remember Jell-O being so sweet!

I might have been more excited then the boy, but I just loved how our Earth craft, during our Space unit, turned out.

 

My Favorite: Here is my favorite shot from the last 2 weeks.  The snow didn’t last for long, so I’m glad we got a chance to play in it.

So, there you go.  Don’t forget, you can download all the Polar Lands and Space printables (not all seen here) for FREE  at 2 Teaching Mommies.

Next Week we will be focusing on the Feelings! I hope you’re able to come back and check it out!

Tot School- Catch Up

Lil’man is 37 months.

 

MIA. Yep.  This blog was on the back burner last week.  I didn’t post anything.  I may have posted at the end of the week, but unfortunately my computer was hit with a virus.  Fortunately, my virus protection caught it and after running a few more test (which took forever!) everything looked good.

 

Since I was a slacker last week, I’ll be posting pictures from both our Snow & Ice unit, as well as People Who Keep Us Healthy.   Below are just some of the things we did. You can see other activities in action from these units by visiting Amber at The Belly of The Whale.

 

Language Arts: During both units we did a spelling puzzle. These puzzles were a little more challenging because both had two of the same letters.  This required Lil’man to look at the picture and make sure it looked right.

Snow & Ice

People Who Keep Us Healthy

During our Snow & Ice week we created this I for icicle.

 

Here are the books that we are read during our Snow & Ice Week:

Math Concepts:  During our Snow & Ice week Lil’man did a Roll & Build Snowman to work on his number recognition. 

He also rolled his dice and added that many icicles to a house.

This past week we worked on shapes during our People Who Keep Us Healthy week.  The day we were learning all about the dentist, Lil’man had to match the correct toothbrush to each child.  As you can see in the picture below each toothbrush had a shape and each child had a shape.

Books we read during our People Who Keep Us Healthy unit:

Social Studies: We had a lot of fun pretending to be a doctor and a dentist this week.  Make sure to swing by The Belly of the Whale to see some fun science activities.

 

Extra: Lil’man really enjoyed making our Snowball treats for our family night.  And we all really enjoyed eating them.

Lil’man also enjoyed creating our tooth collages.  He especially liked the “Sad Tooth” collage because of all the pictures of the sweet treats.  I had to go over several times that just because Lil’man likes to eat them, doesn’t mean his teeth are fans.

 

My Favorite: Here is my favorite shot from the last 2 weeks.  The boy asked his dad if he could have a drink of his hot coco.  He then guzzled the rest down.  The picture below doesn’t captured all the chocolate mess that was left on his face, but you get the point. 

So, there you go.  Don’t forget, you can download all the Snow & Ice and People Who Keep Us Healthy printables (not all seen here) for FREE  at 2 Teaching Mommies.

Next Week we will be focusing on the Polar Lands! I hope you’re able to come back and check it out!
