Pre-Nursery : Cars Week

Fritz is currently 26 months 1 week

This week, we didn't continue with the letter as he was looking so bored with those. So I decided to take a little rest from it. We did the Cars week as he's so falling in love with everything about Cars. I took the material from 1+1+1 blog.

Cars Activities
*Matching the Shape*

He starts to recognize some shapes. He was also so happy when he saw that there's a lot of Cars' characters inside those shape. He knows mostly except the square, rectangle and hexagon. He's also willing to match those.

*M for McQueen and Mater*

He was enjoying himself to do this activity. He wanted to apply the dough by himself as it's Mater and McQueen, his fave one. Then he recognized it well the letter M. ^^

*Tracing *

He loved doing this tracing lines, however, he was unsuccessfully tracing the other lines except the straight ones. He wasn't still capable doing the zigzag and wavy lines. He's willing to learn it though it's still quite difficult one for his little fingers. ^^

*Counting Cars*

Of course he didn't do all this worksheet by himself. He also couldn't able to count the object nicely. However,I'm so proud of him that he knows the numbers now. When I mentioned the numbers, he could point to the right ones! *yay*

Practical Life
*Peel the eggshells*

He tried to peel the eggshells though he didn't make it out. It's a little difficult for his little fingers. At least, he wanted to do it. ^^

Learning Toys
*Duplo Blocks*

This week, he was so into playing with blocks. He tried to make the tallest tower by joining all the single blocks. Then he pulled down and bang! He giggled loud....

I made him a bed with stairs. He used his imagination by putting Mr Bear to sleep there. He also added Sheep and Horse to sleep together with Mr Bear. He really enjoyed his time playing the role play recently.

*Cars Puzzle*

As the theme was Cars Week, he asked me to play with this puzzle. He tried his best to complete it and he did it with a little help from me. ^^

Miscellaneous
*Taking pictures*

Taking pictures using camera is a big hit for Fritz recently. When I tried to captures some poses of him, he showed his refusal and asked the camera. Then, he tried to capture some pics of us. And this was his perfect pics he's taken while the rest of all were blur, even we couldn't recognize what pics were those. ;p

Fun
*Trial at Bumble Bee Preschool*

We had a trial in one school named Bumble Bee Preschool. It's in Permata Buana. As they want to open it near my neighborhood, some of my friends asked me to join the trial with them. Together with Ms Yulis and Raphael and Ms Lina and Ethan, we agreed to join the trial. We met them on the spot.

We joined with the 2nd class on 10 AM. The class itself wasn't big enough. However, I was falling in love with the toys they provided. Those looked as the same as I saw in some home school blogs. I believed they'd bought those from abroad.

I also like the curriculum they held. They take Montessori for it and I'm so falling in love with Montessori.

Overall, I loved the school so much but the fee is quite expensive for me. I still I consider it for Fritz to join the class next school year. ;(

There's a little accident happened to Fritz. Suddenly Ethan hit Fritz during Mandarin class without any clear reasons. When I saw that Fritz was holding the eggs, then I knew that was the reasons as Ethan was the first time who played with those. Then Laoshi took all the eggs, few minutes later the eggs were on Fritz hands. Actually Fritz got those from another teachers who got the eggs from Laoshi.

I didn't join the class till the end. I decided to get out from the class as Fritz wasn't enjoying his time again because he's sleepy.

*Attending Wedding Party*
