tot school

Deen is 4 years and 7 months old.
Aaliya is 2 years (28 months old).
I will be post­ing this weeks Tot School and Preschool Posts in one post.

We started the week off with an activ­ity that my kids love; Our Sen­sory “Trea­sure” Hunts.
Aaliya had to really prac­tice some patience here as she was really eager to have a turn.

Aaliya found it so hilar­i­ous when Deen decided to feel the beans with his face and lips. It was gig­gles galore when Deen lifted his face up and she saw that beans were stuck to his lips.

Then when Deen was done I told him to place each of the ani­mal objects back so that Aaliya too could have a turn with the search.
We told Aaliya to look away while Deen hid the ani­mals. She kept try­ing to peek! I would then tell her, “Hey.. you are peek­ing!” and she would imme­di­ately giggle.

We then used the Zoo Pack from 2 Teach­ing Mommies.

This was the first time he played a roll and graph game and he loved it. Since Deen does not like to color I gave him cir­cu­lar stick­ers to place each time he rolled a par­tic­u­lar ani­mal. This activ­ity was great for all types of math lessons. I would ask him which ani­mal he rolled the most. He would have to answer by look­ing at the graph with­out count­ing. I would also ask him which ani­mals he rolled the same amount of times as well as the least. I highly rec­om­mend these type of roll and graph games!

He also sounded out each of the ani­mals and was then able to place a clothes­pin on the right letter.

We prac­ticed count­ing together.

She was able to match the zoo ani­mal pic­tures to their shad­ows with­out any help from me.

Aaliya LOVES play­ing the game of Mem­ory. I place 4 cards (2 pairs) face down and she then plays Mem­ory. As she gets bet­ter I will increase the num­ber of cards(pairs) I place upside down.

Aaliya glued together a Shapes Per­son with my help.

Since I did not post about Deens Preschool activ­i­ties last week and since it was also his last week of school hol­i­day before school started I didn’t work too much with him and allowed him to just play and relax.
Here are some of the activ­i­ties we did:

We did Carissa’s Bat­man Preschool Pack.

He also used a few items from the Pretty Bugs Preschool Pack that I knew he would enjoy. Although it is a girly theme I fig­ured that since Aaliya was using it and I had every­thing printed out that it would still be use­ful for him.
