Planting Day Pictures
Planting Day is an annual event at our school. Parents arrive with a variety of flowers and greens to plant in the gardens with their children. Parents come to the school during their child'd playground time. They bring every garden tool imaginable and ear to ear smiles. It was so successful this year. Both the parents and the children had a wonderful time. When the day came to an end, the school grounds looked wonderful. Here are a few of my favorite shots:
For me, I sat back and watched as Stepanie Coyne (above photo - Dylan's mom) shared her gift for gardening with the children.
An AMI Montessori theorist employed by Catholic Community Services.
Catholic Community Services has consented to my use of photographs taken of the clients doing activities, to my writing about those activities and posting both on my blog. However, my blog is independent of CCS and my ideas stated here may not represent theirs.
I spent years in the Primary classroom and there are many posts here having to do with that work also.
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world and am free.
