Maria Montessori said, ” It is interesting to see how little by little, these children become aware of forming a community which behaves as such….Once they have reached this level, the children no longer act thoughtlessly, but put the group first and try to succeed for its benefit.”
Our children placed a boy named Vinny before themselves; some contributing the entire contents of their piggy banks; others their hard earned pocket money. They rode in the hot sun to keep on earning for him, enjoying every moment. They asked no questions after hearing that there was a little sick boy who needed our help.
I give thanks for my children and their big hearts and kind souls.
I am privileged to work with such a wonderful group.
