All About Me theme

Our first theme of the "Mommy School" year is All about Me.

We talked about what color hair and eyes she has, how old she is, when

she was born and who she lives with.

 

Then I pulled out a mirror and dry erase markers and had her draw a

picture of herself - on the mirror! She thought this was just awesome.

(It's kind of funny to watch her draw. Even when she is smiling,

she draws a frown.)

 

 

 

The next thing I did was print this mirror template, and attached a piece of foil to it.

Then I had her look in the mirror, while drawing her face on the foil.

You can find the mirror template here.

 

Our last activity was talking about how everyone is different,

and everyone is special... just like our fingerprints! I traced her hand,

then helped her place her fingerprints on each finger.

Apple theme

Apple Week!

 

 

This week's theme was APPLES and the letter A! So I put together a few

activities. First was our sensory bin. I filled it with split dry peas, then added in a few fake apples,

letter A magnets and blocks, and some red gems. She had fun scooping with measuring spoons,

and of course ended up getting her little princess dolls involved.

 

 

 

K is too young to know how to bob for apples, so I thought up

a different way for her to do it. I filled a tub

with water, threw in 2 different sizes of fake apples,

then also added in 2 real apples. Then I gave her tongs and let her go to it!

 

She really enjoyed this activity, throwing them back in and bobbing for them again

and again.

 

 

 

 

Next we made applesauce play dough. There wasn't really a recipe for this one.

We took about 2 TBS of applesauce, a LOT of cinnamon and added about 2 cups of flour and food color. Then when we took our walk, we gathered sticks and leaves to use for stems.

 

 The last activity I drew a tree with circles and had her put stones on the circles to make an apple tree.
