Tot School - Week 1, Day 2

Today A is for Apples so we learned all about apples and since our shape of the week is circles we also focused on circles. Today is our second day of Tot School. Since we are only doing 4 days a week we took yesterday off to play with friends. We had a very busy day yesterday. This morning we went swimming at the indoor pool on the Coast Guard base so we did our Tot School in the afternoon.

Since our focus today was apples, circles, the color red and the letter A we did some apple and circle painting with the color red, looked at pictures of apples on the Internet and had a lesson on how apples grow. We also worked on the sound A makes. If anyone is interested in teaching their tots phonics I highly recommend purchasing the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD. It's amazing! They have a song to teach the kids the sounds each letter makes. My daughter has been watching it for a while now so she already knows most of the sounds and she is only 2 1/5.

Here are some pictures of our lessons today...
