1st month at Montessori school

Ca fait deja un mois que les filles ont commence l'ecole et elles adorent.
Natalie ne pleure plus le matin et est contente d'aller retrouver "ses amis" a l'ecole. Natalie est la mascotte de la classe, elle est la plus petite et s'est tres bien integree.
Rachel aurait aime aller a l'ecole le week-end passe et ne comprend pas pourquoi elle doit rester a la maison. Elle est la premiere a etre prete le matin.
Le soir, Rachel aime aller chercher Natalie dans sa classe et dire bonjour a
Ms. Kelly et aux autres eleves qui sont aussi "ses amis".

Rachel and Natalie started school a month ago already. They both love it!
Rachel is learning a lot of new things; she has movement, music, drama, French and even ballet classes there. In ballet she is the leader and she enjoys it.
She made a lot of new friends in her class as well as in Natalie's class.

Natalie did finally stopped crying in the morning and best friend Angela (4-year old) is always there to greet her and hug her. Once I arrived early to pick her up and the 2 of them were hugging. I watched them for a few min and the teacher told me they had been doing that for the last hour.
Natalie loves her teachers. She has Ms. Candy in the morning but her favorite is Ms. Kelly, the afternoon teacher. She is simply wonderful and so sweet and all kids love her. Natalie is the youngest one in her class and has become the mascot. She missed one day at school this week, she did not feel too good and threw up on Ms. Kelly. When I took her to her class, the kids ran to her and told her how much they had missed her --how sweet is that.

We are so pleased with our decision to move them to the Montessori school.

So happy for you that this feels like a good decision. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted when you know it is the right thing.
