I finally got to see what Coco does at Montessori School...that's what she calls it instead of something easy to say like "Trinity." I did a little Monday morning observation and I was not disappointed. I watched her stare at me while the class was doing "circle" time. Then I got to watch her survey the snacks for the morning. She wasn't impressed. I observed her giving other kids the side eye while telling them that I was her mommy, not theirs. And finally I got to watch her do some "works." We sifted tiny alphabet letters out of sand and poured them in a special jar. We made snap-together necklaces and bracelets and we did a whole mess of puzzles. And at the end of the observation period, I even got some crocodile tears because I wasn't taking her with me. Now all of this might make you think that she doesn't really like her school but I assure you, these little behaviors only occurred for my benefit. She normally comes home telling me that she had the "best day ever!" and that her teacher is "soooo nice, she can't take it." She has a best friend in Jordana and they are inseparable (that is, until the teacher actually separates them). Sometimes she even asks me why she "wasn't put in this school sooner?"
Next up is holiday sing a long!
