Aiden is currently 39 months
Our theme this week was Frogs and the letter F.
Letter of the Week
Aiden used dot paints to paint the letter F and added frog stickers.
Book of the Week and Craft
We read Froggy Gets Dressed. To go along with the book we made a really cute frog, which we found here.
We changed the craft a little and used yellow dot stickers for the frogs spots and a pipe cleaner as our hanger.
Math
Aiden counted how many flies he could catch with a fly swatter. The fly swatter has two velcro strips on it to catch the flies, which are felt circles.
I introduced the concept of small, medium and large. Aiden sorted the pompoms by size and used tongs to put them in the correct size tube.
He decided it was more fun to pick the pompoms up with his teeth and put them in the tubes.
Cutting
Aiden loves cutting paint swatches. This is one activity that will hold his attention for quite some time.
Pre-Writing Skills
Aiden enjoys scribbling on paper and I find paper all over the house. I finally gave him a notebook of his own to scribble and draw in. He told me the picture below was of a frog playing in a pond.
Tot Trays
He hammered golf tees into styrofoam.
We pulled out on of Aiden’s favorite toys, Drill and Design Activity Center.
And finally, Aiden transferred colored pasta from one container to another. I’m still finding pasta on the floor.

u seem to be doing great teaching your son, but don't you think part of pre school learning is socializing with other children in the classroom?
