Models of Literacy

We had a busy day today...

We count to 100 every morning and I can already tell they're getting the hang of it.  Counting (in English) is one thing that I think has suffered being in a Spanish speaking preschool.  But really, how can you not count well when you have a tiara? 


We worked on the letters E and F


Zoe teaching Lucy her (Zoe's) sight words.  This was hilarious.


We played a counting math game - one to one correlation is something everyone needs to practice!


Montessori fun!  Moving pom poms from one bowl to another - this was a hit!

Our buddy Avery came to see what we were doing in school!  Avery can't go to preschool because she needs to stay healthy so we were happy to show her around our little school!  It quickly turned into some crazy princess giggle pom pom affair...

We are starting to learn about our 5 senses.  Today, Zoe, Lucy, and Avery took turns feeling objects in a bag without looking and guessing what the object was based only our the sense of touch!  

Lucy's  results sheet:  The jewels on her shoe tricked her into thinking it was a crown in the bag.  Understandable.


After lunch with Avery, we went to the library and loaded up on Brazil books.  They were fascinated by this sculpture.  When a library employee saw them, he asked if he could take a picture for the library promotional materials!  With a Grana Librarian, we of course said yes (and I snapped one too!)
How cute are they???
