Our School Week 2/7-2/11

This post has Tot School and Pre-K with Tot School at the top and followed by Pre-K.

(Dylan is 33 months)

He did a Monkey Tot Book this week. He loves monkeys so I knew it'd be the perfect theme for him. We will be finishing the Theme this week. Here is some of what he did this week.

He talked about what color the monkey liked. He had to get his monkey and moved it from each color to the new color the monkey liked.

He colored a Monkey Sheet.

We talked about what body parts a monkey has and he showed me if he had them too!

   

 

 He did our Shape Sorter this week. I called out a shape and he had to find it and put it on the right spot.

 

He did a coloring activity that he had to listen to directions in.

 He did a Valentines Bird Size Sort from our Valentine Tot Kit.

We also did a Conversation Hearts color sort from our Valentine Tot Kit.

 

And then the last day of the week we worked on making some Valentines.

Here is our Week in Review for Preschool and Tot School!

Preschool

Austin had a full week of school from RRSP curriculum to 2 Unit Studies and some fun Valentine Activities!

We started each day with calendar/circle time and also discussed our tray of things that start with P

We had pigs, police car, pineapple felt food, pizza, pancakes, planes, phones, penguins, plates and the color purple. This was my first time putting a tray like this together but the boys really enjoyed picking our items and saying the names and then discussing that they start with P

RRSP Letter P

( Letter P , Number 17, Sight Word- to, Color Pink, Circle)

This week he cut out his own vocab words not using the helper scissors with the spring in them! ( This is a huge accomplishment for him)

Letter P Activities

 He colored a Letter P is for Penguins that I made

 He worked on Counting with Penguins that I made

He did a color by number Penguin from Making Learning Fun

Police Unit Study 

we focused on our flash cards and the traffic signal and what is is for.

50 States Unit

we did the following states Alabama, Alaska, Arizona and Arkansas.

We started each State with finding it on the map

 Then we did our Passport with the state license plate, state flag, and bird/flower.

We then read the flap book we have about each state.

And he finished each part of the Unit with coloring a page about the State

He worked on our Valentines Tot Kit with our Lacing Birds

He worked on a Penguin Puzzle

And he enjoyed our Sensory bin

Now for some pics from the week of both the boys. 

We had close to 12 inches of snow this past week so we spent alot of our school time outside playing in it!

 

The boys built a snowman with Daddy. Mommy created the face with what things I could come up with, Black Pom Poms for the eyes, a mini carrot for the nose, and a red pipe cleaner for the mouth! Daddy made the arms with the boys help! (Dylan wouldn't go near the snowman once he was made so no pic for him with the snowman)

 

We had a great week even in the snow storm!

50 States Social Study Unit

I've been working on this Unit for a while now and finally have it together! Starting in February Austin will be doing 50 States in alphabetical order for about 12 weeks (since we do school 4 times a week).  I plan to do one to 2 a day depending on how things go. We will be doing a coloring page each day, our passport, lift the flap in our book for that state of the day, color the state on our map, and locate the state on our big U.S map, and we will also be watching the Power Points from the Members Only Area over at 1+1+1=1(if you arent a member you might want to consider joining) . I have made my own passport and am sharing it with you all plus all the info you will need to do what we are doing!

Passport Pages- click image to download

Once printed  cut the pages out and staple along the left edge.

What you will need for the passport:

• Picture of your child to put on the 2nd page
• State Flags
• State License Plates
• State Flower/Birds

The State Flags. License, Birds and Flowers will be glued in the passport per day.

Other things we will be using each day

State Coloring Pages

United States Map (color the state of the day)

This is the book we will be using it his a flap with the states info under it as you can see in the pictures. I got this at Dollar Tree.

  

 This  is the map where he will locate the state each day as well. I bought this at Dollar Tree as well.

Other things you may want to get for fun to go with the Unit

Enjoy and remember to have fun!
