Tot School

~'Lil E is 15 months old~

Starting this week Tot School will now focus on 'Lil E.  This week was a transition week for us.  Big E's "school" was in full swing.  'Lil E joined us for Calendar, Bible, and Music time.  Then we would either play with her first or we did our school while she played "quietly."  Sometimes she was very interested in Big E's activities.  She even crawled up into his chair while he was trying to trace something.  This week played some fun games, some on her own, some with Big E.

 This game was of her own creation.  She found the popsicle makers in the cabinets and practiced putting the tops in the holes.

 We practiced putting the shapes on the pegs.  I wasn't sure if she could manipulate something so small, but she got a few on!

 Macaroni fun.  Big E was supposed to be gluing macaroni onto a M shape.  So I gave her some macaroni and a few cups to play with.  For a while she put macaroni and and out of the cups and practiced pouring with the cups.  Eventually it became a big mess so we all had the opportunity to practice our cleaning up skills. 

 Playing with macaroni and boxes together.

 I found these wonderful foam blocks in the $1 bin at Target a month ago.  I set out the blocks and 3 plastic cups for her to play/explore with.  I sorted them by color and shape for her and helped show her how to build towers and walls and such out of them.  'Lil E mostly just tried to eat them, but she enjoyed playing with them and knocking down my towers.

 More in/out practicing, with foam cubes.
