Preschool Update

After 9 weeks of school, Coleman has gone from observer of group activities in the classroom to an actual participant. I am one happy mama.

Last week he made a very cool leaf mask that he painted and glued things on - this required him wearing a big smock which in the past, he refused to do.

Yesterday he made a morocco and actually participated in the march around the classroom.

And today, he made homemade tortillas with cheese and beans and ate it!
( they are studying South America)

Montessori does amazing activiites that are so educational and enriching and he used to just sit and watch. I am so happy he is marching and singing and cooking now.


Oh Coleman. I love you so.

Thats okay... if they didn't come you may have found me knocking on your door at midnight-too many scary noises! :) I am glad Coleman is finally liking school-he is such a smart boy!

that is so great coleman is enjoying school... but remember... part of Montessori is observing... so he was just soaking it all in :) i love the activities they expose our children to!
