As we approached the end of May this year, Serena approached her final year in preschool. After our brief cocooning upon returning home from China, Serena went to a Chinese day care in St Paul. After a couple of rough starts, she soon found her place there, loved her Laoshi and made sweet friends. We knew there wouldn't be options for Chinese immersion in Little Rock but of course wanted to give her a rich experience that met with our values. We were delighted to find Urban Garden Montessori whose philosophy seemed to align well with our values, with a student led garden as well! Serena truly thrives with the Montessori model; she is able to be hands on and direct her learning. She has also continued to thrive socially. We are so proud.
The last day of school was celebrated with a transition ceremony for the children rising to the next level. Serena will be in kindergarten but will have the same class and teacher, whom she adores. The following are a few captures from her last night:
