Preschool Enrichment Ideas:
Please email a picture of your child with their artwork, project or doing their activity to novimontessori@gmail.com with the subject line “enrichment”.
We will compile the pictures we receive and send them out regularly so the class can see what everyone is doing.
Art Projects: Have your child hold their project and snap a picture! Check out some projects below!
Physical Education: Take a picture of your child being active! There are some ideas listed below.
Science: Take a picture of your child experimenting! Follow the links in the table.
Practical Life: Capture your child helping out around the house. Remember Practical Life teaches Order, Independence, Concentration and Coordination (OICC)
Cultural Studies: Take a picture of your child in cultural clothing or a photo of a previous trip.
Choose some Other Activities and take a photo!
Take a photo of your child waving to his/her class!
Snack: Snack is a big social event at school where they prepare the table, prepare the meal and eat together. Just a picture of preparing or eating snack at home would be fun for classmates to see.
