So we are coming to the end of March Break 2010 and I thought I would have had more time to share! I only found out this year that it is traditional for Montessori school to have a 2 week March break which I thought was super cool when Kade started school in the fall, when I wasn't working! When I started working I began to stress about what I would do with him for 2 whole weeks!
It ended up working out well, with Kade's dad taking a few days off and Kade spending a few nights with family but to be honest, I'm glad that it's over! Back to our normal routine.
And Kade is really ready to go back to school. He misses his friends and his lessons and the structure of his day. I think more then anything though, he misses his teacher!
It's good, as a parent, to hear your child say that he really wants to go back to school. To know that he has somewhere safe and wonderful to go where he can grow!
I've always wanted to have a parenting blog but didn't really think I had anything worth reading. Then it came to me: I'm a new Montessori parents and I should share everything I've learned this year and am still learning with other parents who are Montessori parents or considering it!

busy week!
So it's been a busy week! I've had little time to do anything especially read, which I had planned to do a lot of this week. My mother in law gave me a stack of Montessori books 2 christmas' ago and I was planning to read, or at least start, some of them so I could get a better understanding of what Montessori has to offer. I mean, I see everyday all the wonderful things Montessori school offers my son. But there is so much theory that I want to but don't yet understand.
The one thing I wanted to say in this post is that my son loves school. Yes, he is lucky enough to share his classroom with 4 lovely ladies (3 under the age 6) but that has very little to do with it. He loves to learn! He comes home and tells us about sand paper sounds. He tells strangers about the pink tower. Montessori gives my 3 year old an outlet to learn like none other. And if I'm going to leave my child in anyone's hands other then family it would only be his teachers!
So here's to a great weekend and a wonderful family! If it wasn't for the ones we love (and yes that does included Kade's school community) our lives would be that much less wonderful!
We are truly blessed!
