Tot School Update and Spiderman

So I haven't been super great with my tot school schedule. We've been busy visiting friend and family and just on the go. We do some fun stuff at home but I usually forget to take pictures. But as you can see above we did have some fun with Spiderman stickers.

Tot School: Week 1 Day 1 - Superheros

Today we started Tot School. I'm starting small with 5 minutes a day dedicated to Tot School. This week we are focusing on Superheros. And what better way to start than with Star Wars. After breakfast we broke out a coloring book and some crayons and colored.

 

He like using the crayons to color but also like trying to eat them. He laughed every time he put the crayon to his mouth and I said "yucky". We focused on coloring with green and red.

After a few minutes of coloring he enjoyed putting away the crayons and taking them back out. And putting them away. And taking them out. And putting them away. (you get the point.)

Tot School

During my blog browsing I came across Toddler Awesome who was participating in Tot School. Since Jude is so active I never thought it would be possible to get Jude to participate in crafts and other learning activities so I never really tried. But with the help of Tot School I think I can find suitable crafts and activities for a kid like Jude. 

Tot School is a focused time each day on the tot in your family. So with the assistance of a few great mommies and their blogs I've decided to give it a try. Toddler Awesome has organized theme weeks for her son and I thought this was a great idea so I did the same.

Here are my theme weeks for the next few months:

Feb 12/ Superheros

Feb 28/ Family

Mar 7/ Day and Night

Mar 14/ St. Patrick's Day

Mar 21/ Spring

Mar 28/ Easter

Apr 4/ Farm Animals

Apr 11/ Space

Apr 18/ Earth (Earth Day Apr 22)

Apr 25/ Water

May 2/ Moms (Mother's Day May 9)

May 9/ Friends

May 16/ Colors

May 23/ Dinosaurs

May 30/ Bodies

June 6/ Faces and Feelings

June 13/ Dads (Father's Day June 20)

June 20/ Birthdays (Jude's B-day June 27)

June 27/ Letters

I hope to incorporate our membership to the Museum of Life and Science for some of these. Now I need to plan out crafts and activities for these weeks. I'm pretty exited that Jude is now getting to an age where we can work on things together.

I plan on documenting some of the activities and crafts we do each week.
