Tot School: Spring theme


Tot School

Jackson is 21 months old. 

Whew! We had a crazy busy week.  I had a lot planned that we didn't even get to try.  Jackson had 2 sessions of speech therapy, a doctor's appointment, 3 park playdates, another Easter egg hunt, a McDonald's playdate AND we celebrated his dad's birthday

Books:
Ready for Spring by Marthe Jocelyn
So Many Butterflies! (a Dora book) by Lara Bergen
The Itsy Bitsy Spider by Kate Toms
Raindrop Plop! by Wendy Cheyette Lewison
I'm a seed by Jean Marzollo

Arts &Crafts
 Handprint Butterfly

Do-a-dots (Jackson is really starting to like doing these!)

Snack - blueberry muffins in butterfly and flower muffin tins

Matching- I printed off these butterflies,  attached some felt to the back, and made a matching game to play on our felt board. Jackson liked putting the pieces together, but wasn't really worried about matching them by color.

Practical Life
After we read "I'm a seed," I took Jackson outside and let him help me water the plants. 

Music -Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring (click the link to listen and/or download)

Outdoor Play
We attempted to fly a kite. It didn't really go so well! 

Plus Jackson was too busy trying to chase the ducks into the pond to pay attention to us!

And like I said, we went to the park A LOT! 
He loves watching the boats on the waterfront!
