Tot School - September
This week was filled with many familiar activities, cutting, gluing, pouring, etc. Here were some of the new activities.
We played with our new Counting Cheerios book. Very Fun.
We matched number cards using our pocket chart.
We practiced our pencil grip. I placed several cards throughout the house with pencils next to them. Esther had to draw what was on the cards, which ended up making a simple picture.
As part of our Nature Explorers Club we learned all about Queen Anne's Lace. To see more of our activities, click here.
Esther helped me grind some tomatoes for tomato sauce.
Mommy quickly realized an immersion food processor would be much easier to use. At least we practiced some motor skills for a little bit.
That was our week. To see what others have been up to, click the button below.

I like the pencil grip activity!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kim, the pencil grip activity is great. I also love the Nature Exploration, we hope to join in soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie! I love the use of the pocket chart. I have several, from the dollar spot at Target, but haven't really utilized them yet. Anyway, great week!
ReplyDeleteThe counting cheerios book looks like a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteThat counting cheerios book looks so cool!! And I bet your homemade tomato sauce was super yummy!! It is making me hungry just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteWow you make your own tomato sauce, well done. That book looks intriguing too. Is that what it is called, Counting Cheerios?
ReplyDeleteThe drawing activity is a great idea! I love how you had the cards around the house. Are you using a Roma food strainer (or one similar)? I have thought about buying one like that for tomato sauce and salsa. Do you like it? The counting Cheerios book is neat too! *Ü*
ReplyDeleteShe is a cutie - and if she's anything like my little one, she LOVES to be in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI like the pocket chart thing! Once Pufferfish learns a few more letters of the alphabet, I think I'll make one for her too!
ReplyDeleteI love your Nature Club! I hope once we are settled with our new baby we join in sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNice letting her help with the tomato sauce too:-). Very brave!
What a great use for the pocket chart. I'll have to remember that for when my tot gets older.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is just adorable, btw!
Oh, I have been meaning to "attempt" to make my own tomato sauce...now that we are growing them...just haven't gotten up enough nerve to give it a try!!! {smile} I am motivated now!!!
