Tot School Week of 3.30

This was our first official week of tot school, but I don't think we'll really be 'in our routine' for another month. We're still working out our one year jitters, tantrum, and figuring out limits.

Activities This Week:

1. Music time: sang twinkle twinkle little star, over and over again, playing on the drum and xylophone

2. Color Identification: practiced colors where R-man would point to the color in the bath tub basket that I asked....He would only identify yellow, oddly enough. But I was proud that he was able to point to the object he wanted!

3. Finger painting with blue and yellow- this did not go well, i think we were too close to lunch time...we are going to try pudding and yogurt painting next week to see if we get a better outcome!

4.Fun on the Farm: R-man sat in his chair and i set up the animals on the table....we sang old mcdonald had a farm and popped up the animal when we said it along with the animal sounds! He didn't do it along with me, but was smiling and enjoying it....so i know something was sinking in.

5. Animal ID: we spread out all the animals that we have and did the song "ribbit ribbit went the little green frog one day" (it got hard when we got to zebra and giraffe bc i don't know what sounds they make!)...he was able to properly ID the duck, frog, zebra, cow, and elephant....everything else (monkey, lion, cat, dog is hard...) of course he knows a REAL dog, he just doesn't get the stuffed dog concept!
