What do we do all day?

Pitty-pat worked on math on the computer but she needed posickle sticks to count and add with as well. Then she worked on spelling words too. We examined a beech tree seed pod and the seeds inside at our nature table.
Tippy-toe got computer time on PBS Kids. We are all reading focused right now with him.
Little-man got play dough and a magnet discovery bottle today. He loves to draw with his etch-a-sketch too.
This weeks learning focus is Manners. We will be reading the book Manners by Aliki.

Back to school still

Today I updated our calender bulletin board. We have a shape of the month-Circle. A quote-this week is one by C.S Lewis. There is a skip counting chart-counting by tens. It also has a letter of the week-A. Today is National waffle day. I have a weather chart on the board also.
Pitty-pat is on the computer doing starfall and pbs kids.(Don't tell her its learning)
Tippy-toe won some leapster l-max time. He read three BOB Books to me this morning.

What we did all day

  • I found some wooden letters so we (Cam and I) painted a Montessori movable alphabet. Tippy-toe started using them before we even could get them painted.
  • I also started a new sensory bin-Birds, Birds, Birds  Inside is two nests, two different birds, four small eggs,the wooden letters B,I,R, and D, Corn, and other seeds birds eat, large wooden egg, feathers,and a Bird three part card that matches one of the plastic birds. (It is not finished yet so no pictures until it is done.) I can't decide if I want bird seed as the base or something else.
  • Ostrich egg and two books on birds Eye Witness books Bird and Bird ,Egg ,Feather ,Nest by Maryjo Koch both books we got at the school closing give away. The kids were amazed at my large real egg and we compared it to a chicken egg for size. I loved getting Pitty-pat to read without her realizing it.
  • Cards for  -at  words. 
  • Number matching cards which Tippy-toe zoomed through (faster than it took me to make them). but the numbers can be used for other math sets too.
  • A foam tan gram set to give as a gift (since we have one each already) and the bunny cards to use with it.
Over all it was a very productive day both for me and the kids. Some days it is hard to keep ahead of them in work. Thank goodness for workbook sheets.
