Back at it...Tot School {26 months}

I finally found the time and energy to start Tot School back up again with Luke.  It's been a long while since we have done some structured play and learning, so I am excited to get back into a routine.  Life is a lot busier with two babes, so I am going to try my best keep up with it.  Here is what we were up to last week during Tot School...

Circle Sensory Bin

Rating: 3/5

Skills:
Sensory development
Vocabulary
Shapes: circle
Colors

Activity:
Luke explored the circle sensory bin for a small amount of time.  It definitely wasn't his favorite activity of the week.  We talked about how each item was a circle and I had Luke run his finger around the items.




Dot-a-dot Circle

Rating: 4/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Shapes: circle
Colors
Vocabulary
Writing/Drawing

Activity:
Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of this one.  Luke used dot markers to make dots around a circle.  We talked about each color he was using on the circle and he was pretty efficient at saying the word 'circle'.  I found the page over at www.3dinosaurs.com.  They have lots of great 'shape' pages. 

Circle Color Sheet

Rating: 3/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Colors
Shapes: circle
Writing/Drawing

Activity:
Luke used crayons to color each circle with the correct color.  This was an activity that didn't last too long.




Gluing Circles

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Shapes: circle

Activity:
I 'drew' a circle with glue on a piece of paper and Luke placed circles all around it.  He really liked making the circles stick on the paper.




Counting Circles

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Shapes: circle
Numbers/Counting

Activity:
We used number cards and Luke counted circles for each card, with my help of course.  He really like stacking the circles on top of each number.  If I were going to do it again, I would have enough circles for Luke to do each number 1-5 and see them all laid out together. (Sorry about the poor quality of this picture.)




Cork Stamping

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Shapes: circle
Colors
Fine motor development
Art

Activity:
Luke loves paint.  I gave him a cork, since the end is in the shape of a circle, and he stamped away.



Decorating a Circle

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Shapes: circle
Fine motor development
Colors
Art

Activity:
Using a circle paper, I put dots of glue on the paper and Luke placed poms on each one.  He, of course, picked out where he wanted the glue and pons to go.
