Montessori School paying off already.

So we sent our daughter to a Montessori school. 2 weeks ago, first week was 2 days, now up to 3 day's and next year full 5 days!

So far we have noticed a difference like today she practice mat rolling and she's getting better at spelling. Amazing really. I can't believe it 3 years old and loving to spell and remembers what she spelled.

The school is great by sending us text pictures during the week, which I think is amazing. Since I can't be there to watch her interact. My daughter is super shy!!! It has helped her open up more at parks and today we actually left her in the day care at the Y while we went. I was a little nervous but they did great!!!

We also have noticed our parenting style changing because we are trying to bring the school into our house. We make french toast everyday, so now she helps measure, pour things, stirs it. She also pours her own drinks now. She is just opened up and blossomed over the last few days. I'm so thrilled with the school. It is a bit of a drive but it's totally worth it!

I'm so excited to see what the rest of the school year will bring for her, what she will learn. This week she learned.

Japanese brush painting, geometric cabinet, red rods, labynth walking, color matching/clarification , moveable alphabet.

She was interested in Math bead frame and art area. this changes each week i'm so excited to read her Friday report card to see what she was interested in that week.

Her goals.. continue work with moveable alphabet/ building words
working on opening lunch container solo.. at home she does them just fine ;) i think it's her shyness.

She already has a best friend "A" that she talks about all the time. The school said she had an AMAZING day on Friday.
