Ava starts Tot school

 

First Week of "Tot" School has commenced! All in all it was descent.  I realize that homeschooling looks so different than teaching inside a classroom.  The schedule with a 2 year old is not going to go according to plan. Hardly.Ever.  That is ok.  I am already seeing Ava learn new things and talk about the things we are learning.  So, this week we did several things. 

We color sorted buttons. She found this activity a lot of fun.  She still seems to struggle with recognizing her colors, so it is a work in progress.

 We did creation days 1-4 this week.   Not sure where my picture of day one is. But it is a number 1 with the top half white and gold glitter for the day and the bottom half is covered in construction paper for the night.  Ava put the gold glitter on the day part. 
Day 2 is the sky and water.  Ava dot painted the sky and glued cotton balls on for clouds.

Day 3 is the creation of plants and flowers.  So Ava placed all the stickers on the number 3.  This was one of her favorite activites. 

 Day 4 God created the Sun, Moon, and Stars.  This activity went south when Ava got mad when I helped her shake the glitter on the dots of glue.  She may have ended up in her room for timeout. 

 Here are days 1-4.

 Ava also covered a snowman in little sequins.  She loved this too. 

 

She also started drawing lines this week.  It use to be just a bunch of scribble and circles, but yesterday she was intent on drawing lines. 

She also did some dot paint art.  A favorite.

And I can't forget her sticker art for daddy and Mimi and PopPop.
