What happens when you take two Montessori from Birth children, who live thousands of kilometres a part, who have never met, never spoken to each other, and place them in a Prepared Environment?
You get instant friendship.
We had the extreme pleasure of hosting Jasper and his family from Milkweed Montessori.
What transpired in our all too short visit was Grace and Couresty, as they prepared snack together, demonstrated materials and talked about their lives. Jasper talked about his trip and friends back home in his own Montessori Casa. Quentin talked about our recent family goings on and the up coming school holiday.
Their was a quietness to both of them and it was magical to watch them both move around my classroom. Jasper tried the binomial cube (and completed it successfully) while Quentin got out the geography flags. They sat side by side as if they had done it 100 times before and it was beautiful.
We are off on Winter holidays now, and my classroom is closed up, the shelves draped.
Our upcoming weeks will be filled with peaceful home life and we will do our best to not fill it with busy holiday nonsense. To aid that, I’ll take a break from this space in order to fully be in the moment.
Thank you to all my followers and friends. This has been a good year. I will see you on the other side of 2016.
Our Montessori Life 
Beautiful. Just beautiful. 🙂 xo
Thank you so much for both the visit, and this debrief. What a special moment! Looking forward to our next visit already.
Awesome post Meghan. Glad you enjoyed the Mead.
