A few snaps from the last week of school and Aiden's final days as a third year Montessori student - He's got his eyes on that first/second grade split class we visited last month at our neighborhood school. The kids sang their M S N V cheer one last time and then the circle friend song over and over until most parents were teary:
"Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. A circle is round, it has no end, that's how long I want to be your friend."
Aiden didn't really seem to take in that it was his last time climbing a really familiar tree, swinging maniacally on the bench swing, or walking through the woods with his arm around Angie (seriously?!). All the families spread out picnic blankets to enjoy some lunch and strawberry shortcake. The graduating students all painted miniature pots to make a rain chain for their teachers. I liked this quote, "Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants."
The last few days of school were special days: musical instrument day, water day, puzzle day and building day.
