Tot school : animals

This month i really have been  taking time out to plan activities,read books and point out things to mariah that could help her learn about a certain subject. For example; the first 2 weeks i was teaching her about body parts eyes,ears,mouth ect. And i would make sure to point them out when taking a bath, i whent to the library and checked out books for her age that talked about body parts and had pictures and we even did some handprint foot print art and now as a result i can ask her where is a certain body part and she can point alot of them out for me! Its one of the most rewarding feelings to know i am teaching my daughter and she is really learning and enjoying it :)
So the rest of this month i am going to be teaching her animals. I have a kids dvd that sings O mc Donald and names all the animals and she looooves it. For snack i have been giving her animal crackers and pointing out the diffrent  animal shapes. We whent to the fair this weekend and to my surprise they had a petting zoo so Mariah actually got to see  and pet all the animals she sees in the books! And so far dawgy is her new favorite word.
