In August I posted our Color Themes Goals. Those are what I had in mind while we started Tot School this week, not actually learning the color.
His little shelf had several books about colors or Orange. I also got out two of his Non-Fiction Sight Words books and one of his Meet the Sight Words readers (he likes those better than story books at the moment). The poster was free from Isla Hearts Teaching on TPT. I also hung up the pages to his color book (free here).
Playroom shelves this week. The goal of the toys is to entertain him and give him some fine motor practice. Things like building, sorting and puzzles also provide some spacial awareness (math and even physics).
The magnet board had a Magna-Tile Jack-O-Lantern, that will stay up through Halloween. The shelves included a super sorting pie, color blocks, a car track, orange sorting food, spinagain, magnetic balls and sticks, a sound puzzle, a shape book, a bin or random orange objects, stacking garages and cars and his shape and color game.
Orange foods 3 part cards (free here). He is starting to do most of the matching himself. We also did the corresponding Little Reader lesson to go with most days. We also used his orange sorting food to match to the words and pictures.
Bin of miscellaneous orange objects.
The ears and goggles were a big hit!
For sensory play with used orange soap foam. More details on this post.
He has started asking for the light table pretty frequently. One day we used it with lots of orange magnetic tiles.

Since he loves sight words, I got out some of his orange fall words to play with. Free printables here.
Some random shots of him playing.
