Whoops!

I've been relishing my time at the annual American Montessori Society conference in Dallas, TX and forgot to post last week's photos!  Actually, most of them are from the previous week because we had yet another snow day and a teacher workday last week.  In any case, there are some interesting pictures of activities from around the classroom.
