Letter Ii...

We finished up some of the letter Ii activities from our RRSP and Letter of the Week curriculum that we didn't get to last week. I apparently was a very bad photographer and didn't get many shots of our letter activites...
ABCs...
Both kids worked with our Mellisa and Doug word puzzles.
Our little bug loved taking the letters out of the puzzles. Great fine motor activity :)
She also put them into a bottle and took them back out ;)
Writing Skills...
Smiley practiced tracing his letters. I used letter templates that I laminated. Smiley loves tracing them with our markers and I love that the markers wipe off easily and that I can re-use them many many times :)
We also worked on our KUMON Easy Mazes book again and completed several mazes. Smiley does great with this :)
Fine Motor Skills...
I filled a container with wooden play screws for our lil' lovebug and she loved filling and emptying the container many times. Filling and emptying things are amongst her favorite tot school things to do right now :)
Smiley likes his puzzle. Still a bit trickey for him though.
The little bug just enjoyed taking out the pieces :)
Both kids LOVE our Melissa and Doug fruit/veggie cutting set. This has always been one of Smiley's favorite, but it is a BIG hit especially with the litte bug right now!
Pom poms came out again this week. Smiley scooped them with a spoon.
The little tot got them out of the bottle and put them back in :)
She was very interested in our pegs as well. Smiley and I worked on making patterns and the little bug tried to take the pattern apart again :) She's a good helper like that :)
And of course, taking them out of the container and putting them back in. Like I mentioned, she likes to do that right now :)

RRSP...


We covered the Letter Ii for our RRSP lesson this week. We continue to LOVE the curriculum. Carisa did a wonderful job and I can't speak highly enough of the wonderful resources she put together!

Smiley was really into coloring his memory verse did week...
Lots of color ;) and he particularly emphasized the hearts with red...
He continues to do really well on his writing skills! It really impresses me how much he's improved in just a few weeks.
He started out doing a really good job with the small letters as well...
...but then went a bit crazy ;)
We supplemented our Ii week with some of the Letter of the week activities from Confessions of a Homeschooler.
Dot painting the Letter Ii...
We made Ii's with our magnets...
He counted the number of inchworms and colored the corresponding number of boxes. He loved this activity. Especially the erasing ;)
An inchworm puzzle...
Learning Toys...
Using our magnets to make patterns...
Lots and lots of time spent playing with our cars (and lining them up)...
Since Smiley did so well with his writing skills, I got out our Kumon Easy Mazes book. We did quite a few mazes and Smiley loved it :)
Teeny Tiny Tot School
Our little lovebug really likes her leapfrog piano table.
as well as this leap frog toy that is a hand-me-down and has gone through 4 cousins already ;)
Her purse is a big favorite as well...
...already into lipstick!
Our leapfrog fridge magnets came out a lot too this week!
She isn't very interested in this vtech toy just yet...
She always loves her books though.
We taught her how to clap and she can't get enough of it.
I love her little grin :)
