Work

The boys' school is working on a new website. I was able to convince the super talented Chip Chockley to take some pictures of the children working one day last week. Here's a sneak peek at what my kids do during their morning work period.

Jiro was working on an African puzzle map. He traced each piece individually and colored it in to make the continent, then he used a map book to find and copy the names of each country. (He actually copied the exact font from the book which was definitely going above and beyond!)


He worked on this very hard and was so proud when he brought it home. Rightly so, I'd say.


Satchel was doing short and long multiplication (up to 100,000!) with the checkerboard.


I asked Satchel to explain how this works, but he said it was too complicated. (I probably shouldn't have asked him while he was playing Wii.)


I love the materials that the Montessori method uses and am constantly amazed by what my 5 and 7 year old are learning.
