I love the curriculum, and it fits him for now. I take it year by year. The school he attends goes beyond Primary (3-6 years old) so our options are open as long as I can continue to afford it, and he continues to fit with it.
He has Spanish twice a week, PE, and art.
He also started his first piano lesson today, something that is offered through the school. Next month he will start his second year of Chinese.
Have I said I really like this school??
The only photo I could get of the first day back at school. Thanks Gwennie, for the cool Spider-Man lunch bag.
I snapped this picture before he realized I had the camera, and that was it, no more pictures. This is part of Sean's classroom, and he is celebrating his birthday with a Birthday Circle.The Birthday Circle Celebration is really fun. We started out with a poster that we put together with pictures of Sean from each year, and he and I both talked about what he was doing, and what he liked, etc. during each stage of his life.
The teacher prepares the circle with a cloth, a candle in the middle, and the names of each month on cards around the circle. The one celebrating a birthday begins on their birth month and walks around the "sun" which is the candle, with the Earth, which is the globe. They walk around for each year they have celebrated. Then the teacher brings out the magic box that plays "Happy Birthday," and the birthday child chooses if they want to have the class sing. (Sean chose not to.)
That was a very hectic day for me, and I felt like I needed a body suit with a big S stitched on the front, and a flowing cape. I was running from his school, to an event I had to write about, back to his school for the Birthday Circle, and then home to write a story and turn in before Noon. And I made it, with a few minutes to spare.
