New School Stuff

This year when we started buying stuff for Christmas I decided to do mostly school stuff as my boys really dont need anymore toys as they dont play with half of what they have! This went really well and I cant wait to use all the new stuff we have for School.

Dylan got 2 new workbooks.

Austin got a set of Bob Books! He is already through the first one! 

Dylan got these Infantino Matching Colors and Texture Puzzles.

For Free Time Austin will be using this book with our Dot Markers. 

Dylan received this button art. 

We will be having music time at least once a week with our new Musical Instruments.

The boys received this Magnetic dress up guy from my Aunt. He will be part of there Free Play time. We will also use him for our Unit Studies.

We also got a set of Magneatos! I think i had more fun playing with them then the boys but they were so into everything else that when they have free time they will want to play with these more.

We also received a couple of games

Cars Matching Game. Hope to teach Austin how to take turns and also some patience.

And we also got Chutes and Ladders.

They also got a set of Felt Food that I made. We will use it for counting, color recognition, and for free play.

Now I will be missing for the rest of the week and maybe even some next week. I am conquering our school room and hoping to re-organize it and simplify it as much as possible. Plus I have to find room for all this new stuff! 

Hope you all have a great New Years! See you in 2011!

Our School Week! Letter B

We started our week with making a Bumblebee Letter B.

Here is A working on his Letter B Playdough Mat. He enjoyed talking about the color green as we talked about words that started with B as well.

We also discussed Feelings this week and read a book called The Feelings Book by Todd Parr. Both boys enjoyed reading the book and A enjoyed the tot book about Feelings made by Carissa!

And i just happened to find one that has a bumblebee in it so we used it a couple times this week to talk about bugs and other b words!

D does more Tot School type of stuff, Definitely more Hands on as you will see in the pic below.
He is working on sorting. He knows hows to name colors but doesnt always get them right so we are working more and more on colors since he's showing interest in them this week!

I also set up our new Calendar/ Circle Time area this week.
The boys enjoyed that i moved it down to there level and they can sit and enjoy it now!

During Circle time this week we talked about circles. I got the shape finders HERE. I let them take it and find a couple objects throughout the house that were circle! They loved it!
