tot school

Nathan is 24 months (2 years) TODAY!!!

We had another great week of tot school last week! We'll take a break this week for Thanksgiving and baby Piper's birth, but we'll be back the week after! Check out what we've been learning this week!

I found a mini connect 4 game and Nathan loves putting the checkers in the slots. Great fine motor, taking turns, color sorting, patience... the list goes on! Also I noticed in many of these pictures, including the connect 4 pics, that he is using both his left and right hands... interesting!

Bottle top spelling. He loves this now that the lids are magnetic!!!

Beginning patterns with pompoms... He wasn't sure about the blank circle at the end.

We've got some work to do on the concepts of patterns... any suggestions from other moms? He's just matching the colors but doesn't understand the "what comes next?" concept.

Home-made do a dot pictures, but first with pompoms!

Plucking grapes has turned into a favorite!!!

Puzzle time. I thought these would be challenging for him, but I was wrong. My friend Amber gave me some ideas for 12-24 piece puzzles so we'll try those!

We started the alphabet this week! Nathan really enjoys painting and loved painting his letter A.

Coloring some wooden figures.

This week I started some pre-writing by asking Nathan to use the correct matching crayon to connect the red dots, or blue dots, etc from top to bottom.

Do a Dot pictures... he loves these!!!

Open ended play with balls and the bilibo... so much fun to watch him explore gravity!

Building with magnetos

This week's group tot school was so much fun! We made "thankful trees" and I LOVED listening to all the things the kids were thankful for!!! Nathan did a great job gluing his leaves down too!

gluing and color matching and shape identification

Do a Dot turkeys as well as color id.
