Tot School Tuesday - Here We Go!!!



We recently started our Transportation Unit - how fun!  We really like things that GO, especially since Daddy is a helicopter pilot :o) 

BIBLE VERSE:
"Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." ~Joshua 1:9 (emphasis mine)

WHATS ON OUR SHELVES:


Urban Trend Chew-Chew Train Place Setting

Melissa and Doug Pull-Along Zoo Animals

Garanimals Train

Infantino Train

Go Diego Go Wooden Cool Copter

Melissa and Doug Recorder (Train Whistle)

Melissa and Doug Vehicles Sound Blocks

TRANSPORTATION SENSORY BIN
Black beans and yellow ziti noodles (to make roads)

I have since added some blocks with vehicles on them.
"Scooping beans with a spoon back into the sensory bin. 


CRAFT TIME: Paint with a Car or Tractor's wheels!

Vroom Vroom!  Lots of fun!

And, of course, we had to paint some with our hands too!

We also worked with some of the printables from Homeschool Creations Transportation Preschool Pack.




"M" has also been working on signing her ABC's - shown here signing "S"

Can you think of form of transportation that begins with an "S"?  
SHIP!
SAILBOAT!
SUBWAY!
SUBMARINE!

  3. Looks very fun. A lot of what I see you do reminds me of the Montessori method... Are you familiar with that? Or, is this something that you just gather on your own?

  4. I am somewhat familiar with Montessori; been trying to learn more. I probably fall somewhere between the Montessori method and Charlotte Mason, but I haven't "studied" either method enough to say that is for sure what I do. Since she's only 2 we're just focusing on having fun :o)
