Dear RiverRun Families,
This week we read a story about Prince Rama and Princess
Sita. The story was one of love, loyalty
and bravery. Rama, his brother Lakshmana,
and a brave Monkey God Hanuman defeated the forces of darkness. A celebration occurred because of this
defeat, and the festival of Diwali
was born. Srinidhi’s family shared
traditional India sweets with us. We
thank her family for taking the time to make them for us and wish them a joyous
Diwali.
Yesterday I told the impressionistic story of the creation
of Earth. This lesson, called The Cosmic Lesson, is a traditional
Montessori lesson and is given yearly.
In the weeks to come science demonstrations will be given to accompany
this lesson. The children will be able
to perform these demonstrations independently.
The lessons should bring a lot of wonder and joy to the children.
Best Wishes for a dry weekend,
Amy,
Rachel and Tonya
