Tot School
from the past two weeks starting June 1st, 2009
R-man is 14 months old
MOM'S FAVORITE:
paint chips and wippees!
cut up some strips of paint chips in different colors and show your
child how to put them in the hole in the wipes box! It took R-man a few
tries to master this, but after that, he was sold on the fun! He eventually figured
out how to OPEN the entire box to discover where they all went!
Music Day at Music Together!
So much learning goes on here! R-man demonstrated excellent rhythm by keeping with the beat for longer than expected, so says his teacher Mr. Dave! He loves the sticks song where they do different movements beating these sticks together or on the floor per the teachers instruction.
Tuesday was also GREEN DAY!!
GREEN STICK IN GREEN CUPS
MAKING MUSIC WITH THE GREEN STICKS WHILE BANGING THE GREEN CUPS
GREEN STICKS AS SHOVELS....see below
GREEN SHAVING CREAM TEXTURE PLAY
Mixing up the Green Shaving Cream!
He loved the ooey gooey feeling in the bag!
HIDE AND SURPRISE!
I set out three different boxes with red, blue, and green letters inside.
He had to learn how to Open the box, transfer the letters, and put the lids back on.
During the day, he would wander back to the boxes and partake in this activity all by himself: pouring out the letters, putting them back in the boxes and placing the lid on top (not securely, but enough for a 14 month old)
Last week we had BLUE DAY outside!
Fun with BALLOONS!
This was R-mans first time with balloons!
He thought they were great! Like floating balls that mommy had to run over the field to catch to make sure they didn't fly away!
BLUE PLAYDOH EXPERIMENT!
(no playdoh was eaten- hurray!)
we mashed it with blue sticks, pulled it apart and put in it different cups, made balls with it, ect.
Another Take at Hide and Surprise Game!
The first time, he really was surprised to see his colored letters in there!
PAINTING WITH WATER! (no mess!)
This was part of our blue day continued....
GROSS MOTOR SKILLS:
lots of PUSHING, PULLING, CLIMBING, AND RIDING....
ah- life with a 14 month doesn't require any creativity for these skills!
