Our theme for the next two weeks is: St Patrick’s Day

~Koko is 35 months old~

Koko really enjoyed this theme. He would get his totboxes down randomly during the day and just work (read play, LOL). He is forever asking for his “cool tuff”, ie school stuff. Its so cute to see him so engaged in his own school “work”. He loves it.

Here are just a few photos of him from this week

Noo really enjoyed all his dinosaur themed lessons. We did dinosaur maths, science and language studies. We also did some dinosaur themed arts and crafts.

My post is super late this week *blush* We have been so busy with our Dinosaur theme that I haven’t had a chance to blog much, LOL.

Here are our tot boxes for the week.
Monday
D is for Dinosaur Totbook. I made this totbook with files that I got from 1+1+1=1’s Dinosaur Train totbook and Dinosaur ideas from Confessions of a Homeschooler

Tuesday
Dinosaur sequencing. Koko HATED this, he took one look at it and got up, LOL. I’ll keep putting these types of activities in his boxes. He’ll want to do them eventually. The dinosaurs in the box are part of the Dinosaur Train totbook from 1+1+1=1 and the orange dinosaur sequencing game is from File Folder Fun

Wednesday
Dinosaur threading sheet that I got from Confessions of a Homeschooler

Thursday
We played a match the colour Dino Matching game from File Folder fun.

Friday
Today’s box was empty, we had an outing and spent most of the day out of the house.

Take one large grassy field,
1/2 dozen children, 3 small dogs,
and walk along a narrow strip of brook, pebbly if possible.
Mix the children with dogs and empty them into field,
stirring constantly.
Sprinkle the entire with daisies and buttercups,
pour brook gently over pebbles,
cover all with a deep blue sky
and bake in hot sun for several hours.
When the children are thoroughly browned,
they may be removed.
They will be found right and ready
for setting away to cool in the bathtub.

Dinosaur Theme sheets - We used these sheets for science, maths and language arts. Noo absolutely adores them.

Dinosaur Theme Mate K-3 (We won this one in a lucky draw. This little book is full of ideas. I love it. I got this “Dino-centre” idea from it.

I will post a full outline of our week with dinosaurs at the end of the week.

~Koko is 35 months old~

This week we are working on colours and shapes.

I downloaded the Primary Colors Tot Book from Musings of a Rocker Mom blog. Koko absolutely had a blast with it.




The train was his favorite




Sorting the colours into piles

After working on his tot book (he spent an hour on it and LOVED it), he played with his connectors. He first made multi coloured squares and then make 6 squares of different colours. He spent ages playing with these.

Building an orange square

He played with this nectarine box, he was very upset when I tossed it in the bin.

All done and packing up
