Knock, Knock!

It's been a long time since I've blogged, but I haven't been sick as often. That was my main source for blogging. Believe me, I am not complaining! It is a blessing to be in good health. What is that knocking noise I hear? Dad didn't get that joke...I meant Knock on wood that I stay healthy.

I am still loving my new school. I am learning so much there. Everyday mom picks me up from school...she's falling more and more in love with it. Here are some of the new things I have done at school:

Glued some nuts on a squirrel (sorry acorns)...

Learned about different types of leaves (Maple, Birch, and Oak) with an art project...

We went on a nature walk today at school and did an art project about it.
Those are the real leaves I picked up on our walk.

I have learned so much at this school. I can use the spoon so much better that my parents can give me oatmeal without making a huge mess. I have even learned how to use my other hand to hold the bowl while using my other hand to scoop. Mom has a video, but doesn't know how to do that yet. Maybe a video will come later.

I can color a lot better now too. I hold down the paper with my other hand, making it easier to color with the other.

Here are some of my teacher notes from the past 2 weeks at school:

9/ 10 "Mary loved the spaghetti! She ate 2 BIG servings. Mary pushed her chair in all by herself. I'm so proud of her!"

9/11 "Mary had so much fun during Music and Movement. She sang, clapped her hands, and tapped her toes. She had a Great Tuesday!"

9/13 "Mary enjoyed pouring and spooning rice in the sensorial table with her friends. Mary always gets the knobbed cylinders during Montessori work time. She'll sit on her rug for a long time doing it over and over again, concentrating so hard."

9/ 20 " Mary went on a nature walk today. We gathered leaves, listened for birds, and looked for squirrels. Mary is so happy! I love watching her run, play, and laugh with her friends. She's such a happy outgoing little girl!"
