Working on Preschool Calender

With Montessori, so much of what work is done is what Josh chooses! But we also supply opportunities to learn about a variety of subjects through out the year. This is especially done with the stories I read to Josh and the craft projects we do and the new material that is available.





Here is what I have planned so far...
