In front of his school on open house day.
Zach's School "The Little White House"
This puzzle of South America is his favorite work. He is the only 3 year old that can do it by himself. He came in day after day and practiced until he could put it together by himself!
His finished work!
Showing us how to "paint" the bowl (it is actually mineral oil). Like many Montessori works, this activity that seems like just playing has many steps, requires fine-motor skills and makes him clean it up on his own!
Brushing teeth--for POPPA!!
Say CHEESE!!
Painting steps: Put on the apron, put down the blue mat, get out paper, paint...
Hang picture up to dry!
Making bubbles with daddy
Cleaning up the bubbles!
All works are self-correcting....here Zach is matching the picture in the small photo. If he gets it right, he will have used all of the red sticks (his teachers don't have to tell him he is right or wrong because he will know)
A "Home-Life" station includes flowers
He decided to put his flower by his favorite blocks.
With his teacher, Miss Julie
Helping Katelyn (one of the Union girls living with us) make coffee.
I was giving Zach a bath and somehow (aka Justin) I fell in. So, Zach asked me to swim with him. Here he is washing my hair....
then we are fishing (as we do every night) this time I caught the biggest fish of all.
