Lakelan's School Birthday Party






One of the great rituals practiced in Montessori are birthdays and how they relate to the Earth and it's beings. They explain to the children that it takes one whole year for Earth to circle the sun. The teacher explains to the children each year of life of the child, relating it to nature. It was very neat to see this tradition take place and to see how Lakelan interacts with his classmates.
