Tot School Week 2: Bear, 2, Green

Monkey is 2 +5 months

Monday and Tuesday were crazy days for us last week.  Monday being Labor Day (holiday so Daddy was home) and Tuesday I had a midwife appointment and so we didn't have time to do Tot School so we started on Wednesday and ended today and did 3 days of Tot School (Wednesday then Monday and Tuesday of this week).  We did our Learning Poster on Wednesday but didn't get to our letter box until today.

Wednesday

We started out by introducing our Learning Poster for the week-Letter B, Bear, number 2, green, and square again



We got our poems from the same sources as last week.

We then read:
Alpha Tales (Letter B: Bubble Bear) (Grades PreK-1)
Bernard, Me, and the Letter B (Alphabet Friends)
My "B" Sound Box (Sound Box Books)





This was one of Monkey's favorites and is certainly getting added to his wish list!
















We really enjoyed this book too and I think it's a great book to read to kiddos to prepare for a new sibling on the way












This is a great book-especially if you tend to go towards Attachment Parenting (don't let the cover fool you).  It has pictures of the baby nursing and being close to mom and dad.  We really enjoyed it





The Baby Beebee Bird  This one had to be another one of our favorites because of the sounds in the book.  Monkey really enjoyed helping me make the sounds!
Blueberries for Sal Cute book about a mom and little girl (Sal) and a bear and her baby bear
The Big Balloon Race (I Can Read Book 3)
Little Polar Bear Finds a Friend
It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (Beginner Books(R))
The Lamb And The Butterfly
A Was Once an Apple Pie
Orange Pear Apple Bear


Monday

We really enjoyed all of our books that we read while we waited for a visit from Grandma!  I included the picture links of each of our books today.







Great counting book-simple pictures made this really fun and Monkey liked to count along.














Monkey enjoyed the rhyming in this book-I highly recommend it!














I LOVED this version of "We're Going on a Bear Hunt!"  Monkey enjoyed it a lot too-I think this was his favorite of the day












I like the simple pictures in this book.  It makes the classic story very fun even for a baby or young toddler though Monkey really enjoyed it!







Tuesday
To finish up we did our learning box and read A LOT




Do Your ABC's, Little Brown Bear (Picture Puffin Books)


We obviously had to read Brown Bear and some of Brown Bear's friends
