T is for Tools

Tt is for Tools

I found the coolest Tools Pack from Mamas Monkeys 

All of the tools printables came from her. 

This week was different - Both kids were not feeling so great - Dad was out of town hunting, and I was getting run down so our schedule was off. We persevered and got everything done, just at different times. 

Morning Time with Jumping Bean and Curious:

I Help Curious roll the play-doh but, J.B. he picks a bunch of pieces and puts them in the shape. 

Curious did roll the play-doh a little - but mostly put the play-doh in the container.
The Play-doh Mats came from 1+1+1=1

This went much better than last week. 

I was surprised by how Curious really tried to stay on the dots.
I got the Tt Do-A-Dot Page from Confessions Of A Homeschooler

Last week J.B. was so particular in matching the colors. This week he did not care. 

Curious did stay at the table this time and just played with the pom-poms.
The Turtle Magnet page came from Making Learning Fun
The Top and Tire page came from Home School Creations

 

Part of Raising Rock Stars - This week the puppets were the stone tablets. So I used this Bible because it captured Curious attention, and read the short story of Moses and the 10 commandments while they played with their puppets. 

Morning Time in Tok:

Curious and J.B. playing with Play-doh and using Tt objects like a train cookie cutter, Tt stamps, a bolt from our play tool box, and Tt cookie cutter.

 

Aunt Mel is an artist and could not resist jumping in and sculpting objects that start with Tt

J.B. loved it!

I had bought these cut outs for a baby shower and did not use them so thought this would be fun. Some foam trains and letter Tt to put on the train. Of course J.B.'s train is Green - because our color for the week is Green.

One on One Time with Jumping Bean:

Sizing Hammers from smallest to biggest

Working on our Letter Tt Page for the Alphabet Book 

Jumping Bean cut and pasted all on his own! Good Job!!!

Each card has a certain number of tools and J.B. has to match the clothes pin number to the correct number on the card.

Some different Handwriting practice sheets. Curious got in on this one!
Turtles came from COAHS

Writing the letter Tt.

Jumping Bean working on Tool Puzzles

Tool Color sheet - I colored the words for him and he matched the handles.

Yes I think he know he did a good job!

More color matching Tools. 

I printed this and laminated it then realized it was supposed to be a book. 

So I just left it as this and we matched up our clothes pins.


Cutting practice - Job well done!


Tools shadow matching. J.B. liked all the tools


Jumping Bean had to show me what was different. - he picked this up pretty quick.


Tools patterns - J.B. is good with patterns this was fun!


Both boys got in on the vocab cards.
 Curious liked the train! I was surprised to see him sit and pay attention.

Jumping Bean with the Train Lacing Card.


One day for lunch I made the boys train PB&J's


J.B. and I played a game called Race to the Tool Box. You choose a tool and draw a number to see how many spaces you can go. 1st to make it to the tool box wins. - I'm sure J.B. won.

Raising Rock Star Time:



This is how Raising Rock Stars Tt looked.


Working on the Ten Commandments. As we glued the numbers on the tablets we went over each command that God gave to Moses to write down - in short easy sentences.




 
Working with our Letter Tt and sight word the.
J.B. reading his The Turtle Book


Learning more Tt words in Scripture like Trust - Trust in the Lord with all your Heart


Curious got in on the sight word plus vocab cards. Curious took hold of the Turtle book and looked it over and over and over.  The second pic I thought was too funny - they both have such a weird look on their face and I have no idea why. But they are having fun.


Letter Tt verse - this is J.B.'s - Yes I did it pose!!!


Cutting out our verse and seeing how long / tall it is.

Having Fun with Fall

For the month of September I decided to a Seasons Theme. This was great because the first letter we are to learn is Ll is for Leaf. 

Fall is one of my most favorite seasons in Alaska - It's like God comes and paints the trees, and mountains all these great colors. To me he is really showing off his creation - unmistakable!

This weeks sensory bin. I used beans and real leaves from outside. Some toy trees from Amazon and the pics came from momto2boys24 -unit study -seasons

The boys having fun playing in the sensory bin

We sorted colors from fall -They really liked the trees

Every week we hope to make a tree for the season. Here is our fall tree.

Working on our Fall puzzle and color sheet from momto2boys24 Unit Study - Seasons

Thought it would be fun to do some leaf rubbings

Having More Fun with Ll

I have been trying to think of fun toys or things to do that start with or use the letter of the week. 

When they have free play they can choose from some of these.

So for Ll I got out the Lincoln-Logs. Jumping Bean is funny - he is sooo into cars that instead of building log cabins he built raceway ramps, and bridges for the small logs that he turned into cars. - Love It!

This is a pic of some Tot Trays I had for Curious. For some reason I don't have them playing with the Lego's. But yes Lego's were a hit! 

(I pulled out only yellow because that was the color for the week.)

I just really liked this pic - wonder what he is thinking?

Fall means hunting so to get Jumping Bean practiced up Dad took us on a walk in the woods so J.B. could practice carrying his bow that Uncle M made for him. 

Along the way we checked out - yes the leaves and their many different colors

We made biscuits using our L cookie cutter - this was before we used it for play-doh!

Having fun with Alphie - using the Ll card and other color cards.
