Mothers Day at Montessori Preschool

Today mom's were invited to come to school with the kids to see them work and to celebrate Mothers Day. Max and I were both excited to be together in his school. The preschool area is designed with four different rooms were there is various "work stations" set up for the children. The children are free to roam about each room and work independently as much as possible. Max is given a lesson each day with one teacher one-on-one and it will pertain to math or letter instruction with sounds, drawing out the letters, reviewing pictures, saying various words, etc. I can see so much progress with Max and his social skills. Counting, learning to wait his turn or raise his hand, being able to pour juice, water, etc. picking up various thinking strategies, etc. I can no wait for Mark to be able to go school with him when he gets home. I think Max is going to have a ball introducing his dad to his friends! Here are some photo's of today's visit:
