Tot School Wrap Up Week 9

April 17 to 30, 2011

Mavi is 32 months old.

This week has been a fruitful homeschool week for Mavi and I.  He’s been out of school most of this week because of diarrhea caused by iron supplements.  So in effect, we were able to spend more time together and did a lot of activities at home to keep him busy and entertained. 

We currently rereading all his books.  His current obsession are Dinosaur books, Goodnight Moon and Alphabet Book.

ARTs

 

We made leaf prints here.

And more of body painting.  I should be getting him finger paints this week because I don’t think Crayola’s poster paint is suitable for finger painting or body painting.  He loves to paint his hands and arms these days. 

And we made use of our water color once again by doing watercolor paint using our trees miniatures.

MATH

No math activity this week.  I focused more on language and arts.

LANGUAGE

Pink Series

We started our CVC pink series this week.  I think this activity deserves a separate post, so I will be detailing this on my next post.  Anyway, the pink series set 1 goes well, but he was more interested on playing with the objects rather than concentrating on learning how to associate words with objects. 

 

Learning the Alphabets

We started our CVC pink series this week.  I think this activity deserves a separate post, so I will be detailing this on my next post.  Anyway, the pink series set 1 goes well, but he was more interested on playing with the objects rather than concentrating on learning how to associate words with objects. 

On the pictures below, we are doing the letters b and i.  Everytime I would take out our letter packs, he knows the activities that comes with it already.  So as you can see, he’s forming both letters using foam sheets, then tracing the letters using our sandpaper letters, reading our sound and read booklets and more.  You can read about the different activities that comes with our letter pack here.

We also did the egg CVC cards.  I have to admit that little by little he’s able to read the word just by looking at it. 

When we’re done, I told him to fix his cards, and this is how he did it:  sort them according to colors and put them back on the plastic zipper bag.

    

We revisit his alphabet bingo game.

Practical Life

We did sweeping this week! Something that I’ve been wanting to do since we moved here but never got the chance because of my busy schedule.  Here I used a corn instead of rice.  He didn’t brushed the corns off to the sides instead of brushing them to the center of the square.
