Montessori is divided in to primary (3-6 year olds), lower elementary (1st-3rd grade), and upper elementary (4-6 grades). Today Bean graduated from lower elementary. Usually the third years do a service project followed by pizza and games at Amazing Jakes and a sleepover at school. Bean was pretty disappointed he didn’t get to experience that. However, his teachers did an awesome job of making the graduates feel loved and special. They sneakily did sidewalk chalk art and delivered a box of presents. The kids dressed up and they had their ceremony over zoom. One of the gifts was a handmade book mark with adjectives describing the child. The teachers explained why they chose the adjectives, describing the wonderful traits of the kids. It was really sweet. I’m grateful that Bean has had such loving, hard working teachers who care not just about academics, but have loved him for who he is and helped him grow as a person ❤️ #thebeanster #mec #graduation #yogamom #pranayamamamayoga
