On Monday, Sam started his adventure at a new Montessori school. All indications are that this is going to be a truly wonderful fit. Teachers Nobu and Amy both seem quite taken with Sam and have told us he is a joy to have in class. Apparently, he has adapted to the Montessori curriculum/routine quite easily and is clearly a happier version of himself in this environment than at his previous school. Sam reports with glee that there is much to learn during "work time" (including a puzzle map of South America which is REALLY COOL!), that he has been playing "super heroes" with lots of kids at recess and that he is having an all-around great time. His only complaint is that he is a half-day student and wants to stay ALL day. Needless to say, this start has made his parents incredibly, beyond-description happy. Hooray!
Here he is on the first day, armed with dino-shirt and dino-lunchbox, of course:
