Tot School: C is for Colorful Coat

 
Here are some highlights from what we did and learned last week in Tot School using our ABCJLM curriculum:
Bible Story:  Joseph and His Coat of Many Colors
Day 1 -Read story from our Bible Story Book and Coloring Sheet
Day 2 - Reread the story and talked about
Day 3- Using the pictures and story book “Miss Priss” told me the story.  Then she created a coat of many colors using the coat printable and tissue paper.
 

 
Memory Verse- Romans 12:21

Song/Poem- Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Letter C:
-Put cotton on letter “C”
 
-Made “C”s with play-doh
-Did a crayon rubbing of the letter “C”
-Made a letter “C” with masking tape and used it as a road for our cars
-Used our dot markers for letter “C”
 
Science Color Experiment:  We talked about how you could use certain colors to make other colors.   I got out our red, yellow, and blue food coloring.  I told her I needed orange food coloring but didn’t have any orange.  Then asked her if she thought we could make orange.  We put some cool whip (you could also use shaving cream or white icing) in a bag and I tried to get her to predict which two colors we could add to make orange. At first she didn’t get it but by the time we did the last one. She even guessed that blue and yellow would make green.  After making our prediction (one at a time) we added our food coloring and then I let her smash the bag and mix up the colors.   We then recorded our results.  She LOVED this!  She was so excited when it first made orange!  We also made purple (red + blue) and green (blue + yellow).  She was so into this the first couple times I decided to do a video.  Excuse the poor quality!
 
 

 
 
Number 3:
-Counted out groups of 3
She really started recognizing groups of 3 without even actually counting them out.  For example, when we were cooking I had three measuring cups out and she looked at them and said, “You need 3 of those?” 
Fine Motor:
Made “Snakes” with play-doh
Snacks: cupcakes and carrots
 
She tried helping with the icing then said "Mommy I think I'm better at the sprinkles!"
 
Planned on doing candy corn cookies but didn’t get it in!  Maybe during our review week J
