The Plan for Jameson age 2

The plan for Jameson is to keep him from damaging himself, the house and the other kids. I am going to use the Comprehensive Toddler list from Montessori for Everyone for ideas. I'm thinking lots of Practical Life!



Here he is doing a spooning activity:





I am also going to use the color of the week art curriculum from the book Young At Art. Each week there is a story, and project ideas for drawing, collage, painting and sculpture organized around a different color. Its very open ended and fun and messy for little guys.



This week Jameson learned about black, we read Ben's Trumpet by Rachel Isadora (with black and white illustrations), he made drawings with black crayon, a collage with white stickers on black paper, and a painting with black paint.

Oh, please, please, please--be sure to share what exactly you find to keep Jameson from damaging the house, and hopefully it will work for Monkey as well!! :) We really do have to include them in some lessons this year, don't we? *sigh* Good thing there are babies on the way, for Pete's sake. I'd hate to have no one to snuggle with while I correct math books!
