La Petite Ecole

Some photos of what Amelie does at school (besides listen to French). I'm pretty sure most of these were taken by the French intern at school -- I picked out the ones that just show Amelie and her classroom to share here.


I'd like a smock like this one for home! Fingerpainting.

Tools.

I'm pretty sure Amelie's favorite part of the day is recess.

A bunch of the kids like these cars. They pretend to put gas in them.

Play-dough: always a hit.

Hers is the middle top one -- I'm actually surprised that she didn't just stick all of the stickers on top of each other.

Painting pumpkins.

Cleaning up.

Watercolors.

Looking at books.

Even more painting -- always a fun activity.

More looking at books:

Snacktime:

I hear the baby dolls are quite the hot commodity in her room (6 two-year-old girls!)

Amelie's first semester at preschool was a definite success. I'm conflicted about what we'll do next year, though, since it looks like there isn't a part-time option for three-year-olds. I think continuing to go 9 hours a week would be just about perfect, and I'm not sure that I want to give her up every morning just yet!
