If you haven't seen last week's post, please check it out for links to and information about many of this week's activities.
Campbell and I have both really enjoyed this week's unit. She really liked the "ocean". An idea I had but unfortunately never made time to complete was to google pictures of each animal and have her match each animal from her ocean to the picture. Oh, well, next time.
I printed the ocean animal matching activity from this Tot Pack and learned that it was too simple to only expect her to match them. So I used them to begin teaching her how to play a Memory or Concentration game. Here is a video of one of our games...you can obviously tell it's a new concept ;)
"The best laid plans"...
This picture shows perfectly that no matter how cool I think something is, kids always surprise me. I found all of my beautiful ocean scene thrown to the floor and Campbell then asked "Caterpillar story, please." (see this post if you don't remember the caterpillar felt board story)
To continue working on her colors, I printed and cut out this matching activity. (Please ignore her mis-matched clothes...that's what happens when Daddy dresses her.)
This week we'll be at the beach learning about these things first hand. We're especially excited to go to Campbell's cousin Zachary's birthday party at Ripley's Aquarium where she will actually get to see some of these ocean animals!
Next week the blog post will be about the follow up activities that we will be doing for this unit.
