I haven't shared some of our Tot School activities for a while. We have been busy with them, but with a new baby, I've been too lazy to post them. But now that he is sleeping at least 7 hours per night (Woohoo!), I will start posting.
This month's theme is Winter. This past week the girls learned about hibernation and migration. We are loosely following the Wee Folk Winter Curriculum. I am picking and choosing the stories and activities that correspond to our weekly lessons.
The girls started off the week by water painting a picture
from Wee Folk Art and adding salt to the wet paint for a crystallized look.
The girls made Russian tea Cakes or "snowball cookies."
We made caves and dens out of couch cushions
and pretended to be bears hibernating
We made paper mache caves using the directions from
Along the Way. The look on Hattie's face basically sums
up how she felt about this activity. Celie on the other hand
loved it.
Some of the books we read this week:
Hibernation
What Do Animals Do in Winter
The Tomten

The bear cave turned out great...and you are NOT being lazy!! You are sleeping, adjusting to a new baby and being a great mom. :)
Very impressive! Don't know how you do all this!
Love, Grammy
You're doing a great job, Steph! The girls are learning and having fun at the same time! Invite us when you teach cooking!
Love, Grandma & Grandpa
