Big week.
August 21, 2014
Theo started first grade this week. They had such a beautiful welcome at Rietberg Montessori Bilingual School on Monday. First they had a “light ceremony” where a candle was lit for each child to symbolize the light that the new student would bring to the class. After that they all got an older partner (in Montessori they have mixed-age classes) to team up with and together they wrote down a wish each and then tied it to a balloon that they all released into the sky! Theo and I had a nice, early breakfast together at Sprüngli before walking to school together for his first day…
