First lapbook class at Tots University 17 Jan 2010

I have stopped Amanda's LNT class for the time being as I wanted her to join the lapbook class at Tots University. I could have let her continue LNT and add on this class but I do not want to overload her especially since she is starting childcare on 18th Jan 2010.
You can read more about the class from here
I have been following Shirley's blog for sometime and is interested in her lapbook classes. She has done really impressive work with her own sons.
The class Amanda attended is for 22months to 3 years old. During the class , Amanda is more attentive during the story telling and singing of rhymes. When it comes to doing matching activities (using pencil) and art and crafts, she is more interested in the pencil and the glue haha!
Nevertheless, this is expected as Amanda is really active and cannot keep still for long. She enjoys dancing singing and interacting with others but I find her attention span really short.
I must say I like Shirley's ideas and the activities though Amanda is unable to do all of them the way it should have been done.
However, I hope to help her improve on her attention and concentration span overtime. Last night, I took out the lapbook again and this time we managed to match two pictures with words before she starts monkeying around again. I see that as a slight improvement. I must remember to work on that!
