A newly constructed train engine sparked many friends morning’s work. A teacher offered  great big cardboard boxes to add to the engine. After message boarding what a train needs, we added seats, wheels, a wall, tracks and a surf board. Friends hopped on and off board as their interest ebbed and flowed, filling the morning (and classroom) with music, imagined tunnels and mountains, bear chases and lullabies under starry skies.

When “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” rang out, Sophie ran over and took the conductor’s spot, leading the train into “Munchkin Land”, the next tune to play.

Lisa is guiding our friends in the creation of a Family Face Tree. Friends began working on their portraits for the tree.

Our friends continue to be engaged with the Montessori beads. Tami worked with a small group, sequencing, stacking and counting aloud.

 

When she isn’t dancing, Elizabeth is taking very good care of her babies.

After lunch work groups.
