Color graph sorting using fruit loops 🌈

Here we're learning math, fine motor skills, and cognitive development skills.

Sorting, classifying objects, counting, and number sense are all math domains.

The children are using their fingers to pincer grasp the fruit loops. They're developing their fine motor skills and strengthening their muscles that they'll need for writing, cutting, and buttoning.

As they organize by color noticing the relationship between the objects they're problem solving and reasoning. They use this logical thinking to explore and understand their environment developing that cognitive muscle.

When 1 chair isn't enough during story time...

YouTube can be a great resource for books that aren't on hand that are needed in a pinch.

The story tellers speak clearly and, more often than not, the book has a little bit of animation.

Most of the age appropriate books don't last any longer than 3-7 minutes. That seems to be our group's attention span threshold here.

Yay for technology!

Meet Mr. Mateo, the artist 👨‍🎨

He's been honing in on his artistic signature style. We love seeing the masterpieces he creates.
He calls this one, "Spidey in Easter"

🖌️ "Freestyle painting builds more than art—it builds minds."
Through open-ended art, children develop creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor skills ✨️

Little artists at work! 🎨✨

Today, we turned simple rocks into magical masterpieces. Each child chose a stone and let their imagination run wild—rainbows, monsters, ladybugs, and even glittery galaxies! Rock painting is more than just fun; it builds fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence. 💕🪨

💐 Mother's Day bouquets 💐
Each bouquet was hand picked by each child for their mommas 🩵🩷💜

They chose each flower carefully and thoughtfully. We then wrapped each set in a plastic sleeve and tied balloons to each bouquet.

They could not ✨️wait✨️ to hand these over at the end of the day!

This little guy right here... Took the time to fold this hand towel that was a straggler from the laundry.

Look at those folding skills!
He's going to be a pro in no time 😍

👖👕👗👚🎽👔

Folding clothes is a wonderful Montessori practical life activity that helps in building independence, confidence, and fine motor skills.

It also develops children’s muscular control and provides a lesson in exactness and rigor, laying the foundation for later geometry work.

🐈‍⬛️ Deebo, the cat, loves to participate in the fun

Standing safely on the 'kitchen helper' helps the kids have an adult size view to the kitchen while keeping them from the hot stove.

Here we're about to start making pancakes for lunch!
The kids love to help mix the ingredients 🥞

It's their favorite lunch to make 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳
