Tot School...late again... so sorry!

Nathan is 21 months (well he was when we did these pictures)
We had a great week and a half of tot school but I failed to take great pictures. Nathan is loving having his trays out in the cubby holes and does them more frequently than I'd imagined. We've also started room time this last week and he's been enjoying some of his toys in there as well. This will be a quick post, but here's what we've been up to!

We worked on number identification, counting, as well as one to one correspondence. Nathan is in to bouncing things so we were bouncing the car 4 times in this picture.
An old love, the monkey bank. We're continuing to work on identifying the coins, but right now the only one he really knows is the penny, and that Lincoln is on the penny.
Building towers during room time. I took this picture while he was building the tower and naming the colors as he did it! Such a smart kiddo!
Our lids tray. It amazes me how well he fits puzzles together, including this lid tray. No matter how I changed it up, he got the right lid on the right container every time.

Nathan now can tell you all the letters in his name in order as long as he's looking at it. He recognizes his name in print as well. He loves this puzzle too.

We also worked on our animal ABC's. I need to get a video of him singing the ABC's. It's so cute!
More puzzles. He likes it when I take out every other piece. Then he works on finding the right piece for the right hole based on the colors and animals.
This was a new spin on a tray we did last week. This time I made squares out of scrapbook paper and asked him to match the magnets to the right squares.
This is him in progress. First, he had to show me the house he built in the orange square. I was impressed. He identified the house, roof, garage, and sun in the sky. Do you see it?A finished project, which a "crashed house".
This week, we used the egg containers a bunch and worked on "one in each hole".

Here he was working on picking up just the little balls and leaving the beans in the big dish. This proved to test his patience quite a bit but was worth the work.More "one in each hole" and color identification.
A really old favorite, pushing pasta through the holes in the box.
We played with play-doh, colored, played in rice, water, and shaving cream, and I missed pictures of it all! Hopefully there will be more pics to come this week and hopefully I won't forget to post our tot school pics this time! Have a great week and check out what other moms are doing here!

Eve, I can't find your email, but we started playing with puzzles around 10 months I think. :)
