In Montessori classrooms they learn the work from watching others. At home they learn to do chores the same way they see them done. In Suzuki music they learn to play from watching their siblings and other students. Of course they might also learn stuff we'd rather they didn't! Children also learn an amazing amount by observing.

Kindergarten was such a special time and I wanted to remember every minute of it. Most importantly, I wanted him to have something really special. I consider my notebook to be a love letter to my son and to God because I always ended each entry for each day with a prayer for my son. It seemed every day, God showed me something new about my son and myself. Haven't thought about that in a long time! Thank you! Maybe I should have continued that. But it is a great thing! Hugs!
