Easter Fun

Kambria shows off her bunny bag! Each child made a bag and filled it with grass and died eggs and a jelly bean sorting activity and a prize from the Easter egg hunt. ( which we moved indoors because of the horrible wind)
When the children hear the clean up music they get started
on their job for the month right away.
This is Briley happily washing a table.

Cooking Project- Easter Egg Sandwiches

Children crack and peel boiled eggs, after a thorough hand wash of course.
They loved doing this part and felt so capable.

Mrs. Merrill Spreading and Serving sandwiches. The children are so patient and join in a discussion about "trying new things" while they wait to be served.

Easy and delicious!

These are all the ingredients for Egg sandwiches: Boiled eggs, dill relish, chopped green onion, chopped celery, chopped parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, seasoned salt, bread.

Every child tried their sandwich and all but one loved it and even wanted more. I was so pleased that they were adventurous eaters!
I've noticed kids are a lot less picky when they help in the making process.

April News

Its April! I hope everyone had an enjoyable spring break! We had a few warm days here and there and hope to see many more this month. In Montessori we will be studying plants and flowers this month. We will be looking for budding trees and flowers. We will learn how important plants and flowers are to us. The children will do plant care works and plant their own seeds and watch them grow. A variety of gardening activities will be available to them also.
