Tot School: Letter D & Color Brown

   This week was all about the Letter D and color brown! We had fun playing with dinosaurs, our dogs, dominoes, and dice. We also ate our fair share of donuts and dots.

    On Monday I went to the library while Connor was at school. I got all of our letter D books and then we did tot school after Connor woke up from his nap. He may not have been in a good mood about going to preschool, but he was excited for school at home!
1) I introduced the Letter D using a flashcard and the fabric D I made.
2) Connor colored his Letter D worksheet {I got it from here}.
3) Connor "traced" the Letter D using this worksheet.
4) We made Connor's hand print into a weird looking dinosaur {I got the idea from here and hers looked much better}.
5) Connor and I snacked on powdered donuts. What a treat they were for him! 
6) We read Be Gentle with the Dog, Dear by Matthew J. Baek.

    On Tuesday we learned about the color brown. I wish I would have planned more stuff for him today, but ran out of time. Here's what we did:

1) I introduced the color brown using this flashcard that I printed off from here.
2) We made a dog puppet out of a brown paper bag {I saw it here}.
3) Connor said the doggy needed a check-up, so we played doctor.
4) Connor drew a picture on a brown sheet of construction paper.
5) We read Dr. Duck by H.M. Ehrlich

     Wednesday was a dot themed day.
1) Connor filled his Letter D printable with dot stickers.
2) Connor then put Dot candy on his D Do-A-Dot. Then he put the dot stickers on it.
3) We snacked on dot candies. Connor really hated how sticky they were.
4) We read Dot. by Randi Zuckerberg.

 Trying to get the candy out of his teeth. Haha!

 Connor went on a buggy ride at school today and saw the firetrucks that were parked outside for them. He got this fire chief hat and has been obsessed with it all week. 

     Yesterday was a pretty easy day. I really slacked this week looking back on it, but I can't beat myself up over it. I have to keep telling myself that Connor is only 2! Here's what we did yesterday:

1) Connor did the uppercase and lowercase D Do-A-Dot worksheets. He did the uppercase using dot stickers and then lowercase using his dot stamp Memaw sent him.

2) Connor played with play-doh and dinosaurs. He liked making dinosaur tracks in the play-doh. 

3) We read Three Little Dinosaurs by Charles Fuge.

    We are taking today and next week off from tot school. Connor went to school this morning, and now his Pappy and Omi are here to visit us from Texas. We are going to enjoy our weekend and next week with them! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)
