So, that's what PS does at school!

It's not often that parent's are allowed into the classroom at the Children's House here in Tervuren, so when PS' school (International Montessori) had a "Mom's Morning" one recent Saturday, I could not pass up this opportunity.

PS working on lacing cards...

and a wooden puzzle...

PS was happy and very confident in her classroom surroundings, anxious and proud to show Mommy what she does in school. She chose to work with a wooden puzzle and lacing cards as her activities. What she really wanted to do, was to make bread or an apple pie, but alas not enough time for that. When she was thirsty, she poured herself several glasses of milk, then proceeded to wash her own glass, dry it, and put out a new glass for the next person. All this was done on her own, so I was quite surprised to see how independent she was. She even proceeded to sweep the floor! Now if I could only get her to do this at home!!

The morning ended with a special chocolate muffin baked by Ms. Marie... And hugs from her two favorite teachers.
