Montessori Toddler Class

So I have a ton to catch up on but I thought I would do a post about my class so that everyone can see what I (& my kids) have been up to. We started school last week and everything is going well. Talia is in the preschool class that is taught by my friend Lara (who is amazing, by the way). Milo sleeps, and I have 4 kids in my Toddler class. We only meet two days a week because that is what worked for us moms (with little ones) running the school ;) The pictures are in no particular order and our theme for the month is Ocean life, so I incorporated it in the work as well as circle time. Here is a peak at what I have in my class!

This is actually the reading corner in the preschool but it is so cute so I had to share it!

Here is my class (Talia was changing the baby doll on the floor so don't mind the extra stuff)

My reading corner is more like a cave...it is under the desk but the kids like it. :)

Mystery bag - I gather interesting objects and as the child pulls them out I label them
