Open House at Emmaus




this is the big school that rhett spoke so much in pre-primary. "i want to go to the big school mama!". so he finally did. he was proud to be in the "big school" like he's finally grown. the "big school" is emmaus today christian montessori (etcm). his home for almost two years. located in the linda vista area in san diego.




ms. keturah has known rhett since pre-primary. she was his music resource instructor and remains still. you can hear ms. keturah sing to the lovely children even in the playground. she reminds me of "the sound of music." her passion for music is strongly felt. she also treats the young ones with admirable ease like her own.

rhett bought the other day at home mongo sprouts that he planted. this is a project they do at school that has taught him an awareness for living things such as plants. he takes great pride in caring for them and watering them.



we went to his open house on a sunday and he was happy to oblige me in his second home away from home. rhett toured me around his classroom and started at the drinking fountain.





cut and paste. he just luvs to do this activity.




this is his classmate - shreya. a pretty sharp witty indian girl who told me what rhett's up to when i am not around. rhett wasn't too keen on the news. shreya has this cute sunday dress. they manage to show me one of their favorite activities - coloring and cutting.



their morning routine starts with this calendar that is a wealth of information. they learn about the day, weather.

a very unfinished entry that i will get to when "it" hits me. but the press is waiting so off u go.
