Tot School - September

Tot School
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.

  6. Wow you make your own tomato sauce, well done. That book looks intriguing too. Is that what it is called, Counting Cheerios?

  7. The 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*

  9. I like the pocket chart thing! Once Pufferfish learns a few more letters of the alphabet, I think I'll make one for her too!
