~Punkin is 34 months old.~This is going to be short, sweet, and to the point because I'm tired. Plain and simple. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and feeling every bit of that! Our F is for Flower unit took 2 weeks to do, and even then, it was pretty basic and sporadic. I have been planning and have had great intentions, but when it comes right down to implementing those plans.....I just run out of steam. But here is what we did manage to accomplish the past two weeks.
TOT TRAYS
Melissa & Doug See and Spell
Making flowers with her Melissa & Doug magnetic pattern blocks board.
Making "flower arrangements" with fake flowers and upside down styrofoam cups with holes poked in them.
Punkin loved the rainbow bin so much I left it out one last time.
Creating words on her Leapfrog Word Whammer by looking at the cards I had made for her.
LEARNING ACTIVITIES
You can't see it very well in this picture, but Punkin used a flower stamp to cover the letter f.
She also used flower pictures with velcro on the back to make an f.
Then, on her own, she wanted to make patterns with the flower pictures.
Punkin sorted capital and lowercase Ff petals onto the correct flower, matching colors as she went as well. You can download a copy HERE.
We did this alphabet assessment together, except I said the sound of the letter and Punkin had to find the letter that makes that sound.
I made these sight word flowers for Punkin. There was a picture in the middle of the flower that represented each of her sight words. She had to find the milk jug cap that had the word on it and put it on the flower. Then, she used letter tiles to spell the word on the petals.
I also made this flower addition activity for Punkin. She picked a purple card, put it on the purple square, and then placed that many purple petals on the flower. She repeated that with a pink card and pink petals. Then, she counted all the petals together on the flower and found that number on a white card to place at the end. I had her "read" the math problem to me as well each time when she was done.
As a number assessment of the double digit numbers we've worked on so far, I made this sheet with numbers 10-13 in the middle of the flowers. Punkin had to dot each number a different color based on the key at the top.
Here is the finished page.
I made this activity last year when we did flowers. Punkin matched the shapes to the correct flower, making sure to match the shapes to the correct color of petal as well.
She did this color by number flower page from The Ramblings of a S.A.H.M.
I got this idea from Tons of Fun. I made flower picture templates, and Punkin had to recreate the same picture using foam shapes on her own page.

Just a random flower picture using cupcake liners and milk jug lids.
Punkin practiced her cutting by cutting apart strips of flowers.
Then, she sorted them and glued them onto a "flower garden" picture.
Lots of puzzles
Pouring rice
And then brooming up the mess.
Playing in her sand table.
Having lots of "picnic" lunches outside.
Building blocks with Daddy.
Washing the deck (as well as a bucket of rocks and anything else she could find to "wash").

Sorry to hear you're feeling so tired. The last few weeks of pregnancy are so tough. And just for the record even your "basic and sporadic" learning weeks look great!
