Practical Life: This week we again worked on putting objects in small places. We started with a baby cereal tin and poker chips. MunCee actually spent ~15 minutes doing this over and over again! When she started to lose interest, I introduced a spice bottle and q-tips. It was a bit more challenging but she also kept at it for quite some time. What was most interesting for me was to see how she handled herself when one of the q-tips got frayed. She spent several minutes trying different ways to get it into the bottle and her focus was really amazing. She did get a bit frustrated at the end so we moved on to another activity (I don't know if that was the right thing to do? ....but I'll definitely reintroduce this activity again soon).
Sensorial: MunCee absolutely LOVES water so we gave her some plastic Easter eggs and a scoop and let her have fun at her water table. The idea for this table came from The Secret of Childhood (actual pic) and I have to say it is genius! Very inexpensive, real easy to make and portable. It's a great distraction for when I need 45 minutes to do something around the house... love it!!!
Reading: We spend some more time reading and exploring "The Runaway Bunny". We also practiced the ABC song. MunCee likes the Elmo/India Arie version on YouTube so we watched that a few times. She thinks every letter is "E" so we've been trying to point out the real E's everywhere ;-)
Math: No specific Math work this week other than counting out fruits/food in the kitchen and grocery store.
Culture & Exercise: We danced to Reggae and Soca music from Mommy's country (Guyana). This will likely be a regular part of our routine as it is also a great way for Mommy to get some Cardio in without actually working out ;-) and MunCee likes to dance!
