Finishing out the Year!

Greetings! Here is a brief overview over the final weeks leading up to Christmas Break! 

In Tot School

We are following Carisa’s Rock Star Curriculum and Erica’s LOTW Curriculum for Chipmunk. I mix and match a few things and modify for his interest, ability, and our schedule, of course, but I really so like the combination of what these homeschool moms have created. 

So without further ado, we have been learning:

• How to write the letters H & T
• Pre-writing Practice
• Letter Identification (we love letter mazes for this)
• Letter-Led Bible Verse (we love Steve Green)
• Writing the number 2 (and boy does it pose some challenges
• Size Sorting (we loved the LOTW Turtle sorting for  “T”)
• Cut and Paste (asking a 3 year old to cut, oh my!)

 

• Butterflies (we learned how to make a butterfly with fingers paint and hands)
• Build-a-Pattern (we loved the LOTW Hippo Building for “H”)
