Toddler : Under the Sea

Fritz is currently 23rd months

This week we have an Under the Sea theme. We didn't have much to do with the theme as I didn't prepare much for it. And Fritz was rather Cars than Sea Animals. Then we mixed the theme. So next week, we're going to have a Transportation week.

Picture : Sea Animals
This flash cards have been made when I started the first period of home education. I had ever taught this cards to Fritz and at that time he wasn't as enthusiast as now.

He knew the animals mostly. I just said it not more than twice. When I mentioned the animals, he grabbed it and gave it to me.

Art : Under the sea finger painting

This was the first stage of doing the under the sea finger painting. I prepared few paints in the palette and asked him to do the finger painting in the drawing paper. It's nice as he didn't take any refusal doing it. He liked it!!

Actually, after the paint dried, I was gonna make under the sea view. The fact, I forgot to take the pic and it wasn't good at all the result as I wasn't a good imaginer of under the sea view...hehehehhehe....

Song : Teasing Mr. Shark

(Five) little fish
swimming in the sea

Teasing Mr. Shark
"You can't catch me
You can't catch me
Yee...Yee..Yee..Yee..Yee
Yee...Yee..Yee..Yee..Yee
Weeeeks >,< "
*put the tongue out*

*soft voice*
Come along Mr.Shark

*SNAAAAPP!!!*

Note:
- It's a rhyme and we can use our body gesture when rhyming it.
- We can change the number of the fish.
- When we say fish, we can put our two hands together and move it like a fish.

Tracing : Straight and Circle
He was so enthusiast as usual when he did the tracing straight lines. However, he still needed more practice when doing the circle trace. Ciayo, boy!

Practical Life
*Cleaning up the car*

When he woke up, he went straight away to his car. He rode it like usual. Then I saw it was so dusty and I had an idea to ask him cleaning up his own car. He was so enthusiast doing it though he didn't clean it up well. At least he learns how to take care his own thing.

*Thomas' stickers*
He continued to paste this Thomas' stickers. He didn't really love so much with Thomas and it's quite shocked for me when he wanted to do it.

Miscellaneous
*Cars Lapbook*

As he LOVES cars so much, I took the cars lap book out again. He was so happy to see it. He played with it for long time. He took the counting cards out and made it messy. I put it straight and asked him to put it in order but he still couldn't do it well. He knows all the Cars' characters name. Well done, boy!

*Same sleeping style*
One day in the morning, I saw both of this son and dad were sleeping with this same style. I didn't wanna miss the moment and I grabbed the camera fast.

Techno: Playing Online Game
He always interested with laptop and really wanted to involve in it. Uncle has found an online simple game for him and he was happily playing with it. He just needed to press one single key and let the player did the rest. It's about Mario Bros was riding a motorcycle through hills. When Mario has fallen down, he giggled and chuckled a lot. Looks so happy!!

Fun : Visiting ii Ling2
Monday morning, we went to ii Ling2 apartment to visit her. Together with Oma and Uncle, we arrived in her apartment almost lunch time.


After an hour, Fritz has settled with the environment and he started to mingle with us. He opened the fridge. He's also brave to touch Molly, the dog. He even tried to feed it.


Though the apartment is quite small, we still had much fun there. Great time!
