So grateful for Montessori education for Aaron this year. It's been perfect for him. Last night was an open house, the kind where the kids show their parents what they've been doing. No teachers in sight, it's all about the kid. He was so excited, practically bouncing in the back seat on the way, eager to show off his "work."
Above, Aaron is showing that he can read a "Bob Book." This little guy has been so anti-reading, and suddenly, it seems, there he is, and happy about it. Proud, too, that the books are in the kindergarten room, and by default, so is he.
Here he is cutting out a snowflake. It's all about learning to use the scissors. The paper is pre-folded and stapled, with lines showing where to cut.
If only I'd had that as a kid. My snowflakes always fell apart in several pieces, due to my improper folding or cutting. The teacher would explain again and again and didn't know why I couldn't get it. One little staple, and I could have been a successful snowflake-cutter-outer.
This morning was Aaron's visit with the ophthalmologist. The vision in his left eye has improved a lot with his glasses. He'll still need to patch the right eye, but hopefully it won't be such a struggle since the vision in his left eye is better.
