Wacky Wednesdays

We did our Abeka worksheets today.  I have kind of been doing some Abeka and some LHTH through the week.  I was doing LHTH M,W,F and Abeka and Kumon worksheets on T, TH. 

Our Cc cow sheet.  We glued little squares of red construction paper to the Cc’s.  This is too funny not to share.  You see the cowboy in the right side of the picture?  Well the list is of c words to look at and read to your child.  Well, we are all Indiana Jones fans and the kids have the ps2 game and such…Well, when I brought out the Cc worksheet…Wiggles looks at it and I thought he was going to start saying Cow, Cow…Nope, Indy Indy Jones!

 

Here are 2 of our Abeka number 3 worksheets.  I’ll be honest they have too many sheets for the numbers.  It is overkill.  I am going to quit doing all of them.  We will do 1 letter and 1 number sheet on Tuesday and Thursday.  The rest I will just ignore.

Here is our Kumon Let’s Sticker and Paste sheet.  He had fun putting the animals on it.

We did our LHTH Unit 3 Day 3 today.  We made a letter C on the floor out of masking tape and Wiggles rode his Thomas trains around it. 

We did an art activity after reading about Abraham and Sarah and God’s promise to give them a son.  We made a tent with stars in the night sky to show God’s promise to give Abraham more children than there are stars in the sky. 

I used our tray again and had our materials ready.  We used tempera paint and were supposed to use wadded up paper towel…instead I used some of my HWT triangle sponges.  It was much neater and he was practicing for pincer grip.  He was to draw stripes on an index card to fold in half for the tent.  I was lucky and our index card already had alternating highlighting for him to have lines to trace over already.  We taped our tent to our stars in the night and we were done.

We had a pretty decent Wednesday.  We did our LHTH today and it went really well after I found some masking tape.  I bought some yesterday when I bought the construction paper.  The house had eaten the first tape I used with the A.  Well, today I couldn’t find the new tape and after searching like crazy…I found the first missing tape but not the new tape…Oh well, at least I have tape.

We put blocks all around our B.

Gluing our rainbow.

Our finished rainbow.

Abeka 2 Worksheet.

Coloring.

Our new Melissa and Doug triangle crayons in their case.  I love these crayons.  They have a great case with built in flip top lid.  They are sturdier than the crayola triangle crayons too.  Our crayola ones didn’t survive the day before Wiggle Worm had broken half of them.  The M&D ones are very sturdy and hold up to a toddler’s grip and use. 

We learned about when the flood ended and Noah came off the ark with the animals.  We learned that God gave us rainbows as a sign that he would never cover the earth with water again. 

We made a rainbow with torn up colored construction paper that we glued onto a piece of black construction paper.  We are now using Elmer’s disappearing purple school glue sticks.  I love these.  It is so much easier and Wiggle Worm can actually do the glue!  Regular glue in a bottle was too hard for him right now and too much of a battle to accomplish anything.

We continued our exploration of the letter B.  I love the masking tape on the floor with the letters.  Although B was a bit tricky for me to make well.  B will stay on the floor until next week when C is introduced.

We reenacted Noah coming off the boat and it was fun.  I pretended to be animals and tried to encourage Wiggle Worm to do the same.  Alas, Wiggle Worm wanted to ride piggy back on all the animals.  It was a fun and energetic exercise.

We counted to 2 with our Abeka worksheet.  Wiggle Worm colored with his new crayons.

Wacky Wednesdays

Well, as is fitting for this week, everything is not going according to plan. I needed new ink to copy pages for LHTH and while at Walmart decided to get Wiggle Worm's pics took. Then we went to eat and now are at nap...so Tot School is being pushed to Throw away Thursday this week. But ain't he just too cute?

Wacky Wednesdays

We did some puzzles after having some M&M's for a snack. Wiggle Worm is a messy eater.
These are our sheets from Abeka books. We were supposed to glue beans to the Aa page but it really was hard to follow the little dashed lines on such a small Aa and Wiggle Worm lost interest fast. He liked coloring the duck though.These are our Kumon sheets. We did some cutting, coloring, and stickers. We gave up on pasting and just used the stickers for now.
We went outside for some play but wouldn't look at the camera. We found one of the big kids bouncy balls in the yard and he liked just holding it. We were starting to get ready for our nap around now.
This is a great little toddler size napsack. I like it because it has the zipper, snap, button, and velcro for them to practice with.
This was our Wacky Wednesday this week. We did our LHTH also. I think we won't do as many Kumon pages in a day from now on. I think Monday will be coloring, Wednesday will be sticker and paste, and Friday will be cutting with our Kumon books.
I need to get more of the motor skills we do on camera. A lot is done without us even realizing it and we don't get pics of it at the time. I have some great ideas for next week with painting and can't wait to see if they will work. I have to get some supplies first.

Wacky Wednesday with Wiggle Worm...and it went pretty okay. I do not see how all of you blogging Mommas get your pics while working with the little one. I took lots of crazy pics today and not many that I really intended to get and the ones I wanted...well, they escaped my grasp...
But on to today's Tot School....


We are walking Pooh on our A (we say aa instead of ay). We are focusing on the sounds of the letters instead of their names right now. He was supposed to walk the A after Pooh...but we had an A stomp instead. Much more fun for a boy.

Here we are doing our circles of color to start our color hunt. The circles at the top are my example circles. Yet again, today we are a lefty.

We found the color red. Alas, being the firetruck lover we are...the rest of our hunt was more or less Mommy hunting and showing and Wiggle Worm towing the firetruck with us.


We have started doing our Sandpaper Letters and there is a wonderful site with instructions on using and introducing sandpaper letters.

Here we are doing our counting caterpillars page for LHTH. It went well and we counted to five (six actually...he didn't stop when we were out of caterpillars). And I have no clue why his tongue is out in this pic either.

All in all, a good day.
