Drawing

All children should have a creative outlet. At 1st Presbyterian Montessori, we provide all forms of art materials so the children have a wide variety of opportunities to be creative.

Snack!!

What kid doesn't like snack? Seriously, what adult doesn't like snack for that matter? What's unique at Montessori about snack time is that the children are 100% responsible for preparing it themselves! And they eat it when THEY choose! Some eat snack around 9:15am and some eat around 10:45 - it's completely their choice!

It starts with hand washing. The child fills up a pitcher with water (to the green line) - pours it into a larger container where they use soap and a scrub brush to wash their hands. Then they empty the larger container into the sink, dry their hands and proceed to the list with their names.

Once they find their name, they remove it and place it in

to a basket - this lets everyone know that "Lucy" has had her snack.

Then the child chooses his or her snack, the day these pictures were taken the choice was Cheez-its or an apple

They also fill their own cups with water and then sit down at the snack table with

3 of their other friends to enjoy their healthy snack!

Dr. Seuss

1st Presbyterian Montessori had a very special visitor today - Cat in the Hat came by to help celebrate Dr. Seuss' 106th birthday. The Cat in the Hat read to both the toddler classes & the primary classes - it was really such a treat! Cat in the Hat read one of Dr. Seuss' books - a really good book - the Foot Book.
