What are you doing for Tot School lately? Let’s define a “tot” as an 1-3 year old. I would say anything before a formal Pre-K curriculum. You know, the stuff we do with our little ones to provide opportunities to develop their love of learning and maybe teach them a few things. If you have any ideas you’d like to share, link up your exact post to Mr Linky (if you have questions about how to do that, let me know in a comment or email). Provide a link back somewhere in your post to this post so your readers can see other ideas too!
Carisa-
Your Tot school looks like lots of fun! I didn’t get to take two many pictures this week, but I had a couple to share.
That ball pit looks like fun!
Blessings,

What neat children you have! Isn’t it just the neatest thing to watch brothers together? 🙂
Thanks for the tip on “We are . . . The Laurie Berkner Band” – I’m always on the lookout for “active” DVDs.
Carisa, Ky is too cute! He’s so funny and just cracks me up! What a great idea to use a sticker on the mouse. Love the ball pit idea Pax came up with. Ky is fortunate to have such a cool brother! ~Sako
I have a question for you Carisa.
I am thinking of starting my Tot on ABC notebooking. I’m concerned that I’d be starting him too soon. I’ve heard that it’s better to slowly work into formal learning with the little ones.
I started my oldest a bit too early I feel and then at about 3 1/2 he wanted nothing to do with ABC or Numbers etc, till the age of 5. At that time I didn’t know about Mason and other styles, so my approach was probably a bit off. I guess I’ve learned tons since my first one was little. I just don’t want to think I’m gradually introducing it then all of a sudden he reacts negatively. I’m probably thinking way too much on this, and not giving myself enough credit of knowing my little guy’s interests and abilities.
Do you know a good indicator that a tot might give to be ready to start, based on your educational background knowledge?
Love the sticker on the mouse idea by the way.
Thanks M.
My daughter’s favorite Starfall letter page is “T” b/c the tiger roars. I hear it over and over and over and over….she laughs every time.
By the way, your boys are so lucky. They get to do so many neat things.
