Tot School Letter Gg

~Ladybug is currently 34.5 months old~


Animal-ABC-Button922222

Here is her desk set up for letter G…

IMG_1886

The items in the pocket chart are all available here on the Animal ABCs webpage.  I added gorillas on her desk, and her Gorilla Be Good book, which she loved! {files are released for free when they are posted on the Totally Tots blog for the ABC feature, letter G is not free yet, but it will be once it is posted on Totally Tots!}.

We also had a few gorilla books off to the side in her pink basket. On her shelves, nothing really gorilla related…IMG_1888

Here are some Letter G and Gorilla ideas for you…

She did very little tracing this week in her dry erase notebook. Totally fine by me, it’s her choice each week.  She did pull the shapes sheet out and trace the entire thing with regular markers.

Coloring gorillas…IMG_1949

Here she is working on Letter G Dot Fun, we used play doh this time!  This set is included in the Animal ABC Bundle, or you can purchase the set as a stand alone set for $1.25 on Teacher’s Notebook.

IMG_2024

She then pressed jewels into the balls…IMG_2028

 

She worked with me to make the letter craft, which is basically an open ended project that you can do whatever you want with!  This week she asked to paint her letter red!  She was excited to cut her gorillas by herself.

IMG_1908 IMG_1944

Not only did she want to cut herself, she wanted to use the white glue by herself too!  I showed her how and she did a great job!

IMG_1960 IMG_1968

She is VERY into play doh letters.  I am working on a new set of A-Z play doh mats that feature the animals from Animal ABCs!  The set will be done soon, I hope.IMG_2019

Special Note: Please read my post about Following the Child’s Lead if you have a tot and need info about this.  All tots are different and what Ladybug is doing may not be appropriate for your child, even if s/he is the same age!


We are taking our All About Reading Pre Level 1 lessons slowly.  I am not expecting mastery from Ladybug, just using this program as a way to expose her to the Big Five Skills.

This week we did lesson 7, continuing our work with rhyming words.  No photos of that part this week!

She loved the letter page this week!  She colored orange first {her choice}, then I let her use glittery gold paint, and we added seaweed to the tank!IMG_2311


Learning-Toys_thumb2_thumb_thumb_thu[1]

She loved the pom pom transfer.  I gave her an assortment of different tweezers we have so she could choose.  The little ice cube tray is from Target about 2 months ago.

IMG_2074 IMG_1895

She still enjoys putting stirring sticks in the holes of a cheese container…IMG_1903

We played our version of Scrabble ABC Soup many times!  We take turns scooping letters and naming them one by one.  She loves this!IMG_1897

Wedgits…IMG_1994

Magneatos…IMG_2042

Foam Blocks…IMG_2057

Another favorite from the week, the balancing toy.  Her favorite thing to do is spin it around until it all crashes! {I noticed the review on Amazon is bad, just so you know-our toy is perfect and VERY well made!}IMG_1975

IMG_2150

Building with one of our favorite block sets…IMG_2429

She still loves to poke the sticks into the holes of this toy…IMG_2437

Matching fabric squares…IMG_2448


Hanging-ith-the-big-Kids_thumb2

We are still studying Brazil thanks to our Little Passports.  Here we were finding hidden animals.  IMG_2161

She continues to LOVE the puzzle and can now do the entire thing by herself!  IMG_2104


Moms-Favorite_thumb2This is one of her very favorite things to do.  Dump out all of our bean bags and get covered up in them..

Or, covering one of us in them…IMG_2450

My Fern is so beautiful. Still my favorite cat eve My Fern is so beautiful. Still my favorite cat ever. And that’s saying a lot!

I’m not very active on this account anymore mostly because my older kids don’t like to be photographed. I am passionate about fostering kittens and my foster kitten account @crazy_foster_kitten_lady is where I spend most of my Instagram time now.

I’ll share here every now and then, but I’m on the kitten account daily!
Have you ever seen Ivy Kids Kits? There are SO man Have you ever seen Ivy Kids Kits? There are SO many monthly kits for kids on the market now, but this one remains my favorite! We have partnered with @ivykidskits for many years and although my kids are now too old for them, I still spread the word!

This video shows a peek inside of a recent kit they sent us, Kermit the Hermit. You can buy individual kits or buy a monthly subscription!

It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, happiness, excitement, surprise, sadness, longing, and a bit of emptiness. 

We celebrated with my parents on the 24th, and that was a very joyous celebration. We enjoyed church, gifts, food, and mostly one another. 

On the 25th we celebrated with my husband’s family and sadly we are missing our beloved Nana who went to be with Jesus a few weeks ago. We all did our best to honor her love for fun last night. We played games, we laughed, we ate well, but it was all mixed with a longing sadness, wishing we had her with us. 

The next to last photo is it Kyler and my father in law, who lost his very best friend. We just love him so much and pray for his continued healing as he grieves this horrible loss and emptiness. 

The final photo is of Nana’s grandkids each holding their collage of photos of them and their Nana. This gift brought some tears, but we can tell will be treasured by each of them. She was one of a kind, and so special to all six of them.

Tree decorating night! Goodness I love my kids. Tree decorating night! Goodness I love my kids.
I know many of you don’t know many of the people I know many of you don’t know many of the people in this photo, but I know many of you pray. The beautiful woman on the far left of the couch is my bonus-momma, my husband’s mom. She has stopped all treatment for her cancer and is going home to be with Jesus soon. We prayed for her to feel well enough to be with us at Thanksgiving, and though she felt pretty crappy, she was there. 

If you know her, you know what I mean when I say this is one of the kindest, most joyful, selfless people I have ever known. The world won’t be the same without her. We are devastated and hurting. We pray for her peace, her comfort, her pain, and for God to relieve her of the suffering. 

Last night was a huge mixture of pure joy and devastating sadness. We celebrated and hugged, and laughed, and we cried. It’s just so hard. Thanks for praying for our family. ❤️

Mabel has turned out to be the most entertaining c Mabel has turned out to be the most entertaining cat we have ever had. She is sweet and sassy, mischievous and marvelous. Equal parts of each. She annoys all of our other animals just like a little sister should and keeps the humans on our toes too. She LOVES Lili, and is still BFF with Pebbles (Lili’s cat). So glad we decided to add this rambunctious ball of fluff to our crew!
