Our day usually involves going to story time at our local library and checking out books, cd's, and DVDs that we never end up watching.
However, yesterday I had to spend all morning with the girls at an appointment of great boredom. So, we did not have lessons and today we will make up for it.
Even though we did not have formal lessons yesterday, the girls still managed to get some pouring activities in.
The girls were outside"cooking" with water out of their kiddie pool and I casually slipped them each a 1 cup measuring cup I use for pouring activities and Delores practiced her water pouring while Lydia practiced her water dumping. Lol.
This is really what montessori is all about for me. Delores especially would prefer to apply her activities to real life instead of sitting down with a mat and now I look for situations I can offer that to her.
After all the purpose is to make the child more independent in their life not to confine them to a mat.
