Our week in review from April 2nd to 6th

Our shelves

Sand tray

She loved writing in the sand tray this time.

She always likes this activity, but it worked

much better in this box tray instead of the

shallow tray I usually use. She went and got

more letters from the drawer so she could keep

playing in it. 

Egg puzzle

She absolutely loved this one! It was definitely a

favorite for the week. We did it a dozen times at

least. It's harder than it looks because each notch

is a different width, so you have to turn each level

until you find where it fits.

Ball toss math

There's also a 2 bucket you can't see in the pic. We

set the little buckets up on the other end of our table

and tossed the pom poms into them. The 1 closest to

us and the 3 furthest away. Then we added up our

points. She loved this game. After the first few rounds

we just tossed and didn't do the adding.

Lace & trace

Lacing cards is always a favorite.

Number line

The number line folds out to go to 9. She puts one

cup above each number then puts the corresponding

number of beads in each cup. She always loves

this one. I like that it is self-correcting, so even if I

see her make a mistake, I don't call it out, I wait for

her to discover it herself.

Patterns

Copying patters. She was supposed to make an

identical row beneath this one then I was going to

start a simple pattern and have her finish it. But she

ended up stealing the pom poms from this activity to

give us more for the math toss game and they never

made their way back!

Kumon Activities

She didn't actually do these this week. Surprising

as the cutting one at least is usually one of the first

things she goes for.

Stained glass painting

She loved doing these. Painting is one of

her favorite things to do.

Easter cards

Materials so she could put some stickers

on foam cards. She likes making cards for

people this way.

In action

Glue and glitter. She asks to do this at least a couple

times a week.

This is an activity from a Spectrum Early Years

workbook, Learn with Me Ready to Read. She

really likes it so I might get another from the

series.

These were actually not taken all on the same day.

She just really liked her Dora nightgown this week!

Just for fun!

All ready for dance class.

Dying eggs. This dye is from beets. We also did 

red cabbage, tumeric, and spinach.

More painting!
