❀ Tray Center (free exploration of Montessori trays and

apparatuses)

In the evening, Maya built various three dimensional

structures using apparatuses; Geometric solids, Pink
Tower and Brown Stair for her pretend play. She must
had been impressed by the images on P.20-P.23 while
independently scheming through the Kit book,
'Everything You Need to...'. It is nice to see Montessori
method of learning effortlessly manifesting with the
new materials.

Notes / Daily Insights: 1. Maya is really getting advanced at pretend

play. Today, I have witnessed how she makes even a crayon come vividly
alive.
2. Maya really loves the book 'Boy Who Loves Math'. Though we've already read the book a few times, she lights up
whenever we read the book as if it's the first.

❀ Putting together a funeral for our pet Yoga; Today, as the
homeschool was starting with great energy, we received an unexpected visit from one of the
neighbours asking if we have a male cat. Sadly, there was an accident, possibly two nights ago,
someone hit Yoga and dumped his body in the bush next to the road. The kind neighbour had
discovered him while walking her dog, and took his body to the vet to keep it frozen until she finds
the owner of the cat. So that we could give him a well deserved funeral... We stopped all we were
doing and ran to the vet to collect Yoga's body and we gave him a Krishna funeral. We were sad to
see him leave us so suddenly, but we were OK after singing kirtan during the beautiful funeral. We
give our blessings to Yoga and his next life journey.

Notes / Daily Insights: 1. It is nice to see our everyday life being a part of our school curriculum. Usually, children hear
such terrible news when they come back from school after all the business had been taken care of. Fortunately for
Maya, the terrible news also happened to be a valuable life lesson that replaced other structured lessons.
