Today....
Charli contemplates a tower I built for her

Alanah deciding what to write on the yellow heart she cut out

Phaedra writing on the heart she cut out

Lelia did lots of cutting.

Addison tried out the scalloped scissors

AJ with a 1-20 number puzzle

Charli fills the bucket

Brendan with the farm puzzle

Charli puts her blocks down and pulls to a stand

Phaedra

Charli with a pad of paper

Addison wanted to use the sprayer to wash windows

It was raining so hard outside that the windows fogged up! They are nice and shiny though!

Lelia and Phaedra with the magnetic dress-up dolls

Brendan with the alphabet and number stamps

Montessori materials. Phaedra stacks the red knobless cylinders

Brendan works with the knobbed cylinders

He was very focused on finding the right hole for each cylinder. One did not fit and he tried turning it upside down, when that did not fit either. He moved onto a different cylinder and came back to that one later. It is interesting to watch them figure it out :-)

Phaedra's tower is complete

Addison works with the blue knobless cylinders

Brendan chooses the yellow knobless cylinders

Lelia still busy with the dressing dolls

Addison's tower is complete. After this we used the color boxes. We played a bunch of matching and name the color games, and then we played the "what's missing game?" by removing a color. They were so good at it that it evolved into using 6 colors and Phaedra could even name 3 that were removed :-)

Playdough time



We read Who Am I? Animal Riddles, and The Napping House afterward Charli walked all the way from the playroom

Charli made the corner

Charli walked into the bathroom where the kids were waiting to brush their teeth :-)
