Yellow Duck!

This week we worked on "Yellow Duck!" It was probably the funnest week yet. It's fun to start seeing some progress! :) We watched some cartoons with ducks in them this week too. Here was our week…

Here is our bin of yellow things! 

Jace and I lined up his yellow items along some tape "tracks" I made for his cars. 

Jace colored with yellow crayons and a yellow marker. We also worked on sticking yellow stickers to his paper. He is definitely getting the hang of that too!

We practiced counting to 10 with the yellow counting bears.

This week we worked on sorting red and yellow. He did pretty well with this. I think he got the concept, but really just wanted to do whatever he wanted with the red and yellow bears. But in the beginning when I asked him to put the red bears in the red cup and the yellow bears in the yellow cup, he did it correctly probably 85% of the time. We will continue to do this each week as we add more colors. It was a great way to review red. 

We used Yellow Dot markers to color two different ducks.

We practiced matching heads and tails. He still wants nothing to do with this. 

 We matched real animals with cartoon animals. He did a decent job with this. We also used this to review ducks and bears, and all the colors. I would ask him to point to different colors and animals. 

We played with our yellow rubber duckies in a bin of water. I fully anticipated him to make a mess, and I wasn't disappointed. Haha. My kitchen floor was a puddle by the time he was done. He loved splashing in the water and really didn't want anything to do with the ducks except to throw them out of the water so that he could climb in. 

We painted with yellow paint and made a duck craft!

Jace played with Yellow pom-poms and his yellow counting bears again. 

We worked on stringing yellow beads again this week. He actually understood the concept right when I  gave them to him, but still has trouble stringing the beads by himself. I still have to help him with the entire process, but he did better than last week. He learned to put the bead on the string when I held it for him, and he learned to grab the string to pull the bead through. 

He then decided he wanted to stack his yellow beads. He loves stacking things at the moment. As soon as he finished stacking them, he was SO excited and threw his hands in the air and said YAY! I was so glad I had my camera ready to capture that moment. 

He was our "duck" dinner!

On Saturday morning, we went to feed the ducks. When we first got there, Jace was very intrigued by the ducks and just watched them gather and quack at him. :) We fed them some bread (Whoops… didn't read the sign about bread being bad for them until AFTER feeding them…). Jace really got into it by the end. It was such a fun family outing. It was still about 95 degrees outside, so we didn't stay long. We plan on going back in a couple months when the weather cools down.

That was our week! On to the next! :)
