The school year went ahead and ended on me! Where did the year go? Now, it's time to post about our first-ever summer camp, spearheaded by our energetic, creative, and dedicated classroom assistant. She has single handedly put together this enriching, Montessori inspired outdoor experience for our campers. What a refreshing sight to see these lessons in the beautiful light of the summer sun, among the grass so green, and the breeze through our hair:
I will be back to share more pictures - I couldn't get to everything this time around, so I hope you will check back again!
