Back to school!

Well!  Here we are - back in action!  It feels so good to have our little, school community together again.  I love watching the dynamics of old friends reconnecting.  We are also lucky enough to be welcoming a new friend into our Montessori family!  There have been lots of hugs going around for everyone.  We have enjoyed oodles of bubble blowing, trike riding, bird watching, flower picking, carrot & cucumber harvesting, soccer, tag and laughter on the playground!  In the classroom the children were ready to dive back into their work with fervour!  Older friends are enjoying giving younger ones lessons.  We have also been treated to story reading from our Grade 1 friends at circle time.  On Friday we harvested the end of the garden basil and made a tasty pesto to have for our snack.  It's amazing how delicious fresh basil, toasted sunflower seeds, salt and good olive oil can taste!  YUM!!
