Mommy School- Cars and Trucks

Last week was our first week of Mommy School. Our theme was Cars and Trucks and boy did we have fun! Thanks to Pinterest, all my past teacher websites, and the Oopsey Daisey blog for all of the good ideas! Here is a peek of the week:
- We drove cars and trucks on the "road". Painters tape... what a great idea! The next morning we came down the steps and Weston pointed to it and said "road"! Yay!!!!!!!! We're learning new things!
- Song: Elmo You Can Drive My Car This song cracks me up. 

- I picked up paint color cards from the paint store, taped them to a piece of cardboard, and wrote "Weston's Color Matching Parking Lot". This was definitely over his head, but it does not hurt to expose him to the color names. He seems to pick up so much stuff, so who knows maybe he was listening?! The 4th pic below on the collage shows his diaper and shorts. The stink pot ran to the bathroom to use the potty. I helped him take off his bottoms and then he sat on the potty. Nothing. Well not even a minute later he sat on the parking lot and peed right on it. Thanks kid.
- Pretended to drive Mommy's car

- Read lots of cars and trucks books!

- Made ramps out of objects around the house and watched to see how fast the cars would go down them! (sorry... no picture for this one)
- Car finger painting 

We had so much fun last week learning all about cars and trucks!
This week our theme is Dogs and we will also focus on the color RED!! I spent some time yesterday morning gathering some ideas for this theme and cannot wait to see what fun we get into. Just a peek of what we were playing with yesterday...
