So this is what we did last week, actually, and some of the new tray activities we used.

| Toddler-sized magnifying glass and rocks to inspect (this was a huge hit!) |
Lately the kids have been really into pouring, scooping, transferring and watching things spill. I have been struggling with them with a lot at mealtimes lately because they keep wanting to experiment with their water - dumping it, mixing it in their food, etc. - so I realized they really need more pouring work/play. Stuff like this plus extra time at the sandpit have helped a lot. Follow the child!

| Scooping |

| Scooping and Examining! |
 |
| Put the beans in the hole - fine motor work too! |
Our kitchen work shelves are still in transition, but I put out this one tray of transferring pom poms with miniature tongs, and Mimi really enjoyed it. She has weak hand muscles so learning to squeeze the tongs was a good exercise for her.

We only did one language activity this week for Arabic. I set up their letters and some objects in a box for them to match the object with its matching letter sound. We did this as a circle time activity and they never really took out the letters to try the activity on their own after that, so I have to work on the presentation a bit more I think.

Well that's our (last) weekly highlights!
