2010 Soccer World Cup ~ South Africa (Free Downloads Included)

Posted on 15/06/2010 by Momma Jo

With the 2010 World Cup being hosted here in South Africa, we have been studying the game and the countries which have qualified. Noo and Koko are thrilled with all the soccer fever and just love the work I’ve printed out for them.

On 11 June we watched the opening ceremony, the kids loved it and loved waving the South African flag through out

And Fifi tried to blow her flag like a Vuvuzela 😀

We have a World Cup Wall with all the details (found in the Monsters Ed unit study below) of the countries playing on that specific day

This is Koko’s Zakumi totbook (Zakumi is the World Cup mascot).

Doesn’t he just looked so chuffed with his totbook ♥

Tot Box Tuesday (on Wednesday)

Posted on 22/04/2010 by Momma Jo

~Koko is 36 months old~

I have done away with our weekly totbox system as it just wasn’t working for us. Koko wanted to do more work so now we have started with the LETTER OF THE WEEK curriculum by Confessions of a Homeschooler. Instead of individual boxes for each activity, he now has a basket that contains all his activities for the day.

This is what his box contained today:
Cutting and Glueing art kit from Edukits

Shape and colour match up from the LETTER OF THE WEEK curriculum

Ant Graphing from Letter of the Week

Do a Dot from Letter of the week. We do not get dot markers here in South Africa, well not that I have been able to find anyway, so we used Noo’s counters

Counting pages from Letter of the Week

Circle tracing from Kid Zone

Circle threading

Our A poster which we made a little while ago, before I bought the Letter of the week Curriculum and the “a” flash card from Letterland

Other activities we did today was the bean bag flip and catch and Koko is still loving the Lego!

I have taken most of our “Theme of the Week” from the There’s No Place Like Home TotW schedule and added winter and 2010 Soccer World Cup
