Happy Friday!
Choices. Our day is filled with them. Children have their favorite spots and activities, whether it’s snuggling up with a friend or sitting on a teachers lap to read a story.
Also, having the free reign to get down a puzzle, coins, or a discovery box.
Our friends are continuing to acquire a special skill which is regulating their bodies. We have certain places throughout the environment that are considered ‘alone’ spaces. When children need some down time or just simply want to be alone, they know they can go to these places.
We have the option to discover new things; to learn at our own pace. The exploration of coins and the manipulation of Montessori numbers occurred today at the round table.
When a child or a group of children show interest in a topic or activity, we go full speed ahead.
Our large group learned the coin song this afternoon. Whenever coins are brought up in the classroom setting, we can get this song out to remind us about the certain coins and the properties of each coin!
We had a fantastic day. Sounds like the weekend should be interesting for some of you! 
Have a GREAT weekend!
