Tot School: RRS Unit 2, Pt. 2

Kayleigh is 42 months

Raising Rock Stars

This week we finished up Unit 2, on Tt.

We did the power point show on the iPad this week.  Kayleigh calls it the big iTouch. LOL  Which I guess is fairly accurate.  She LOVES the turtle reader from this unit.

She wrote Tt on her verse sheet.

She cut and taped her memory verse, Exodus 20:15.  Boy was she upset that it wasn’t long.  ROFL

Painting her Ten Commandments craft

Writing T

Other Activities

She made play doh Tt s and pushed pony beads into them.  The mats come from Homeschool Creations.

Our game this week was Candy Land Castle

She painted this Rainbow Shape Turtle from Making Learning Fun.

She worked in her Kumon books, Let’s Sticker and Paste and Let’s Color

We had a new tool, Tangoes Jr., in one of her boxes.  She really loved it.  So did big sis. LOL  I found it on clearance at Target.

Using our Shape Tracers from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

Literature

We started reading in the Eloise Wilkins Treasury from our Sonlight p 3/4.  Such a sweet book!  She wanted to read the stories over and over.  And she pulled it off the shelf on her own several times this week.

We finished “rowing” Jesse Bear What Will You Wear? Here’s a quick look at our activities.  You’ll get a more detailed look when I finish my review in the next few weeks.

Tot School

Kayleigh is 42 months old

We had a light week this week.  A lot was going on with Mackenzie’s schooling this week so we only got in a few days of tot school.

Raising Rock Stars

Unit 2 Deets

Verse: Exodus 20:15, The Ten Commandments

Letter: Tt

Color: Green

Number: 2

Shape: Square

Getting ready for T sheet.  I like to use tiny crayons to encourage proper pencil grip.  These game with our Grasshopper Preschool Prep Kit but we also have a huge box of them from Handwriting Without Tears. 

Cutting her vocabulary cards.  Her cutting is getting better every week.

Coloring her memory verse.  She was very excited to use the “stinky” markers. lol

Other Activities

We were reading Head to Toe in one of our Sonlight books and Kayleigh did some donkey kicks like a donkey.  Can you believe that the book is a treasury?  Look at the size of those illustrations.  We just love this treasury with it’s full size illustrations.

We practiced counting with the stacking turtles activity from Homeschool Creations Pond Pack.

Playing on ABC Mouse.  There is a way to customize the lessons to your liking, so I could arrange them to match up with the letter we’re studying in Raising Rock Stars, but I just haven’t had time to figure that out.  I’m too busy having to redo Mackenzie’s curriculum.  Grrrr!

Our Starfall lessons are coordinating with RR though. 

Sorting T/t , dot painting, and color matching from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

Working in her Kumon Let’s Cut book

WE had pop beads and dress-up magnets in our star boxes.  The pop beads are always a hit with both girls.

In other news, we are reviewing Before Five in A Row and we started “rowing” our first book, Jesse Bear What Will You Where?

We dressed a bear according to the seasons.  These came in FIARs  Fold and Learn Pockets.

Another day we discussed the shapes used to illustrate the book and Kayleigh decided to get out her shape sorter.

She also got to paraticipate in one of Mackenzie’s science activities.  They made edible cells.  Yum!!

She pretty much ate the “organelles” and left the “cytoplasm” on her plate. LOL

Her little buddy also came over and they had lots of fun.
