"The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself." Maria Montessori
Wyatt was eager to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of his school.
Decked out in his blue celebration t-shirt and signature blue hat, he (as well as his parents, both sets of grandparents, and aunt) enjoyed the festivities.
Wyatt is not a new-comer to the Salem Montessori School. He has been attending since his infant days, and is now part of the primary program.
"Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence."-Maria Montessori
The evening began with musical selections provided by each of the classes, and directed by the very talented and patient, Mr. Richard.
Wyatt not only has rhythm, his ability to concentrate is exceptional! But then again, this makes him happy!
The musical performance was followed by a potluck picnic. Boy can these parents put on a spread!
Included in the festivities were face painting, games, a photo booth, crafts, and fun for all ages.
"Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future." Maria Montessori
Wyatt's excitement for life is what makes us Grandparents keep on keepin' on!😍😍😍
