Letter: Jj
Object: Jellyfish
Vocabulary Development Theme: Ocean Animals
You can find the printables for this unit here on the Tot School Printables webpage.
We continued on with our letter Jj week, partly because I wanted to extend our ocean activities and also because of laziness on my part-not wanting to plan and prepare the next unit! Ladybug did not mind at all!
She colored her vocabulary sheet at least 5 different times with her dry erase markers like this!!!
She LOVES her new Crayola Dry Erase Activity Board, and I love that I can slip the sheets in so easily now!
She LOVED the accordion book from the Ocean Animals Tot Book, so I made her another one!
She “played” with them a lot and really enjoyed coloring them with me!
I made her some Ocean Animals Cutting Strips, and she really struggled with these. I plan to add these in each week to give her more cutting practice!
I made ocean word cards for her to color also, she really liked that Baba colored with her {my dad}.
Fun Books & Toys for this unit here!
This section cracks me up. I promise it was not planned at ALL, but every single toy I have a photo of is from Guidecraft! Yes, I review for them and we love their toys, but I promise I didn’t even realize that’s what she played with all week until I pulled the photos together! I wasn’t intentional with planning this week and many of the toys were just laying around in our {very} messy schoolroom.
So, Guidecraft, this one’s for you…thank for all for the amazing toys that my daughter obviously LOVES!
The balancing shape sorter is a favorite these days, both with Ladybug and Krash.
Another favorite with all 3 kids right now is our City Blocks set. These blocks are simply gorgeous and the kids are all drawn to them. I was building with Ladybug and then she began counting the pieces on her own! She can count to 11 now consistently!
The Sky Scraper Building set is not a favorite with the boys, but Ladybug LOVES it! Funny how they don’t all love the same thing and I thought the boys would really like this one. That’s my Dad ~ Baba, playing with her!
You can see her saying “green” as she puts the shape on!!
She loves the Sound Box, even if it is way to hard for her to find the matches. The sounds are very similar, I need to take the concept and make our own that will be easier for her!
She played a lot with our Fraction Board and is already so much better with it!
She had fun sticking dot stickers on her paper. I purposely placed them all around her to encourage different fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.She wandered over to Baba and had him join her a bit too!
The iPad continues to get a daily workout!! Ladybug LOVES it! Here she is a Montessori based game that both she and Krash really enjoy ~ Montessori Crosswords.
She has many more favorites, I am working on a post to share educational apps we love!
Easel time with big brother…
Learning to share with her younger friend Drew!
