Nov. 13, 2009 - Tot School -- Week 13

   or visit this weeks post HERE.

Life is busy, busy, but I'm trying to make time to update!!  This week was the Letter K week.  It's a letter in his name, so he already had it down.  We still did a few fun things with it though. 

Monday:

• Flashlight Tag:  A great visual tracking game.  We sit in a dim room with flashlights.  I shine it on a spot & he tries to make his flashlight beam touch mine.  I slowly drag it away and he tries to make his beam "hold on" to mine.  Then it's his turn to be the leader.
• Cut Play Doh:  I combined this with our speech homework time today.  He cut a piece of playdoh and placed it on the correct answer to whatever direction I was giving him.
• Key imprints in playdoh.....because this week we worked on the letter K :)
• Visual discrimination sheet, printed from EyeCanLearn website

Tuesday:

• Handwriting Without Tears page
• Kumon Sticker Book page
• Sorting letters onto matching letter card
• Jump Start computer game

Pictures from Tuesday:

We also use these cards for an M&M game.  If he tells me the correct letter he gets an M&M.  If he gets it wrong, mommy gets the M&M   Chocolate has milk in it, and milk is good for you, so M&M's are a health food.  Work with me, people!!

Wednesday:

• Cutting paper with mommy (I was actually working on something else, but he kept busy snipping the extra scraps of paper)
• Jump Start video game -- have I mentioned that he LOVES this game?   Today he really just messed around on the game, making the music play or sending the little boy down the slide.  I didn't really care.  :)
• Memory Game
• Hi Ho Cherrio Game
• Playing around with the Barton letter tiles.  He was upset he was the only person who didn't get to "play with those things".  Who am I to argue?  We played around with the tiles for a while reviewing letters.  Then he stood them up like dominoes and knocked them all down :)

Thursday:

• Paint with Kool-Aid
• Little Hands to Heaven -- letter K Hide and Seek page
• Key and Kite grid game
• Numbers puzzle

Pictures from Thursday:

A fun little grid game.  This one had pictures of keys, we did another one with pictures of kites.  Roll the dice and put that number of glass beads on the grid.  Keep going until it's filled.  Amazingly simple, shockingly appealing to him.

Painting with Kool-Aid paint.  Let's just say we won't be doing this one again!!  Once he realized this was really kool-aid he wouldn't keep his fingers out of it.  It stains horribly, so he's now walking around with orange & purple fingers.  At least he was in a dark shirt so if he dripped, it didn't show.  (Oh, and purple kool-aid for some reason makes dark gray paint.  Not the prettiest color to choose.)

Friday:

• K stamps on letter K page
• Kite craft
• ABC-123 page
• lots of outdoor time since it's a wonderfully beautiful day :)

Pictures from Friday:

 He just had to hang his kite on our letter wall!

I always forget to mention that in addition to these things, we also have speech therapy homework, (which I try to do every day but one) and we play lots of games & read books.  Next week we'll be on our way to the letter L.  Almost halfway through the alphabet
