Crazy Collage Days


For a while, Bunny has been into creating collages!
So much so, that we keep a tray of "stuff" and glue sticks for her to use anytime the creative mood strikes (like multiple times a day)!



She makes some pretty awesome collages!
Often she combines collage and paint in her work!


Picasso understood that a child's art IS art!
"Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."


 Bunny often finds her own material and the result is beautiful.  
She used shells and paint to make a beach scene!  
As she paints, she weaves a story about her work. always.



Her love of collage has spread to the preschool children (as well as older "school children" here on SnowDays) and every Monday has somehow become "Collage Day"!

"Creativity is contagious, pass it on" ~ Albert Einstein














And since today is Monday, you can bet some collaging will be going on soon!

{this "I can't decide which one" moment}

{this moment} - A Friday ritual, inspired by SouleMama, capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Enchanted Childhood Preschool ~ The Letter P

  
We had a Practically Perfect week! Lots of fun P activities! 

We started off celebrating St Patrick's Day.  
While the children were busy with snack and project time ... we "think" a leprechaun sneaked into the living room and hid gold coins!!  The children loved hunting for them and when they discovered there was chocloate inside, well that was even better!



 P is for Painting Popcorn
(and snacking on it too)






P is for Pecans and Persimmons and Pineapple!



P is for Peacocks!






Classroom Fun!












We are learning to work together!








And we are learning to clean up our own messes!




It was a good week!

Montessori Moments


Everyday the children are actively working and learning, but some days they take their work to higher level.  They create their own work. And I am amazed!

She noticed that the book on numbers had a picture of the Number Rods on the last page and that got her going! She took the book and the rods to a work rug and began her "work".









Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.” Maria Montessori
