Pictures from Week 8: Preschool

This is what we were up to during the week BEFORE the Halloween party, so my posts are a bit out of order. Anyway, it was a fun week in preschool, as always. LOL

Putting the bears in circle, with a pattern.

Playing with the nature box

Doing the lock puzzle

Spooning spiders - this activity was inspired by a similar activity at What DID we do all day?

Drawing. As always, a very popular activity.

Here there are three friends drawing at the same table.

Creating a free art project using construction paper, scissors, stapler, and markers.

One of the students did this activity and completed it. He was SO proud of himself.

(This activity is inspired from My Montessori Journey.)
