Daddy’s Day at Preschool

Yesterday was “Daddy’s Day” at Brady’s preschool. I thought it was awesome for her teachers to come in on a Saturday so that Karl and the other dads could see what is going on in the classroom. The whole time was spent with Brady showing Karl all the different work she enjoys doing. Karl and Brady had a blast and bonded further afterwards with a trip to Krispy Kreme.

 

Here she is doing two person work. There are two bags filled with identical objects. The first person pulls an item from the bag, then without looking the second person feels around in the bag for the matching object. I think this is a great game what works on the senses!

At the Montessori preschool, practical life skills are readily worked on. Here Brady is setting a table and polishing silver (she calls this “oil on the tray”). They also wash dishes, make smoothies, create flower arrnagements, etc.

There are two options in the classroom for quiet time. In the ‘library’ where only two kids are allowed at a time or the loft which is one kid at a time.

WATER WORK! One of Brady’s favorites, she talks about it all the time. It is just transferring water from one container to another.

Karl said Brady loved doing her ‘sound books.’ She did these four times in the 1.5 hours they were together. They are handmade books that have about 4-5 letters in each one. She just flips through and works on their sound.

We are so proud of our Brady girl and the work ethic she has! We love you Brady!
