Dr. Maria Montessori believed nature to be a source inspiration for learning. She observed that children tend to be fascinated with the natural world, and encouraged educators to get children out into nature, rather than confining them inside the classroom walls.
And so off my dad and I went on the school's fall campout.
The academic rigor of my third and final year in the primary program is making this school year pass so quickly. That, and I am exhausted.
I have made excellent progress in every subject area. I had already mastered reading, of course, but I am working on my spelling (obsessively, all day and all night) and I even drew a black widow spider - complete with a frowny face. The guideline for each day is that students must choose one reading work, one math work, and one science work . . . and don't forget the art!
