Stuart and I had a wonderful experience today as we spent the day in Nicholas' class at Montessori. Mrs. Carrico and I had talked earlier in the year and I had offered to help the children make holiday t-shirts in class. As it turned out, Stuart was off the day I was scheduled to work in the class so he came along with me. We got to watch the children sing so sweetly in chapel. What a lovely sound that is! Then we headed back to class to start on our project. Stuart and I each worked with one child at a time. We showed them the various foam stamps of snowflakes, hearts, christmas trees, and stars that they could use as well as the different colors of paint to choose from. Then we let them decide what to do with their shirts and except for a little help spreading paint on the stamps or cleaning brushes, we let them do all the decorating themselves. What beautiful t-shirts they made! There is actually something so charming about sideways christmas trees and upside down hearts when you know about all of the excitement and pride that went into making them. We stayed until about 12:30 and we had a great time. Mrs. Carrico was very grateful for our help and even wrote a thank you to us in the weekly newsletter to parents. We had to leave the shirts at school to dry but Nicholas already can't wait to wear his.
We got to peek in on Nicholas in P.E. class before we left. They were working on practicing the basic moves in jumping rope.
