our first day...
coincidentally our first day was on sonny's birthday- making it extra exciting!
in keeping with tradition we celebrated montessori style...
made cupcakes...
...and ate them!
birthday celebration- montessori style!
we sang a birthday song as coco held our "earth" and walked around our "sun" 5 times- once for every year of her life.
and afterwards had a delicious picnic!
the kids are allowed to tell secrets only if they share it with everyone- and when they do it's the cutest thing (as you can see in these two photos)!
mia's birthday celebration!
it was mia's birthday on the 20th so of course we read "the story of mia" followed by our celebration of life...
everyone helped mia make her birthday wand...
we decorated birthday cupcakes but mia opted for our earth day muffins...
blowing out the candle looked like too much fun so after mia blew hers out the rest of the class had to blow out a candle as well!
class at fiona's...
in honor of fiona's birthday, we had a "celebration of life". the candle represents the sun, each ray representing a month of the year. here fiona is standing next to her birthday month, about to walk around the sun while holding the earth to signify that the earth goes around the sun once every year. since fiona turned four, she walked around the sun four times...
...and afterwards she got to blow out the candle (a job everyone likes to help out with)!
as a continuing part of the celebration, we made gingerbread. theo and sonny seemed to be the only ones interested in making it- although everyone was interested in eating the final product!
fiona as doctor ruby... i love how she looks like an old ukrainian woman!
coco and fiona pretending to be sisters going to sleep...
...while sonny and theo worked on their batman cave
