The goal for this year for Horea is to learn English so that he can have a conversation.
.
My goal for Horea for this year is to support him in this journey in a Montessori way. I have been told so many times that children in the second plane of development, ages 6-12 years old, cannot learn a second language from scratch in a Montessori way. And I sooooo do not agree with this.
.
So, we will be doing presentations in English for all areas: Math, Language, Art, Music, Geography, Geometry, Biology, History. Today was about Logical Verb Game in English. It was amazing how funny and nice the work was.❤❤❤

2021 - an interesting year, a year with many changes, many challenges, hard decisions, but in the same time a year with loads of gratitude for our new life together: a new town, a new school for Horea, new friends, new routines, new wonderful people around us.
.
2022 - a new chapter with the main focus: US as a family, as individuals.
.
I am grateful for living "la vida loca" with these amazing boys ❤️❤️❤️. Love them to the moon and back. 💝

Happy new year 🎊🎊🎊!

When you reach the geographical centre of Europe and you get what that means ❄️❤️🤭 (Mom, does it mean that you can take a compass, pin it here on a map and you can draw a circle around Europe?)
.
Now we have to try and see: is it true, is it sometimes true, is it always true?

Saint Nicholas came yesterday morning ❤️❤️

Saint Nicholas came yesterday morning ❤️❤️❤️.
.
Horea knows that Saint Nicholas (also Santa) is a spirit, a tradition, a legend and each of us can be Saint Nicholas and Santa and we can bring some magic in someone's life. We just have to pay attention, to spot who needs a bit of magic ✨ .
.
Last evening we prepared our shoes, we putted some biscuits and some milk ❤️❤️❤️
.
So, what presents have you got from Saint Nicholas?

And the result of weaving classes with Grandma Fila is this carpet ❤️😍🤗.
.
Horea is really proud of his own work. Next target: to do one carpet for school.
.
As Maria Montessori was saying: "The hand is the tool of intelligence". Isn't this amazing???
.
Thank you Georgiana from La Poiata Retreat for facilitating these classes, for inspiring us in discovering our ancestors' traditions.

How does a perfect day look for you? . Well, first

How does a perfect day look for you?
.
Well, first of all each day is different, there is no perfection, just enjoying every moment of that day ❤❤❤.
.
Yesterday, I would say I had a ”perfect” day :) Since we have moved to Târgu-Mureș, Romania, all three of us have started swimming classes. So, this Tuesday looked like this:
✅ swimming classes (Bogdi starts early in the morning from 6, I am following next once I am leaving Horea at school, and Horea has afternoon classes)
✅ I was also working on reading assignments for the Montessori Elementary Diploma Course (6-12 years old) held at Montessori Institute Prague. I just love doing this. Makes my heart sing and dance 😍.
✅ we have spent quality time together in the evening playing Ticket to Ride Europe, a board game that we really enjoy.
.
What are your favorite board games that you are playing with your children?

The Iliad, one of Horea's favorite 📚📖 ❤️❤️❤️
.
We had read it 3 times already. And he still finds joy in having a look at it, contemplating each page.

#Wednesday is all about #EmotionalStability and #MentalHealth

Discussion with Horea yesterday evening (🟢Horea 🟡Simina):

🟡 Now that we have more time we can discuss about our day. How was your day? Did you have English today?
🟢 Yes, I had English and do you know I am part of another group, the Gama one?
🟡 Is the Gama group made of your new colleagues?
🟢 Yes, the ones who came from kindergarten.
🟡 How do you feel about that?
🟢 I don't know....
🟡 Well, you know in this way you have the opportunity to make new friends. Also, you have told me previously that the English presentations and work are very challenging and difficult.
🟢 Yes, that's true.
🟡 We can do together some extra work if you want to feel comfortable and rejoin the Alpha group when you will feel ready. Would you like to do so?
🟢 Yes, I think so.
.
I really loved ❤ this conversation. It was a longer one with more insights. I think that the emotional stability can be reestablished through offering new perspective to a certain situation.
.
But the real challenge is just starting now: deciding what he wants the most
✅staying in the comfort zone
or
✅ working harder to catch up with his level of English and be part of another group
.
What challenges have you encountered these days? How are children coping with these challenges?

#Thursday is all about #Education and #FreePlay
.
When we are going out and we are exploring nature we love to discuss about what we are observing and each observation is a perfect learning subject.
.
So, together with Bogdi we are doing our best to be guides in this amazing world, to ask questions so that Horea, using his imagination and reasoning mind, to discover the WHYs and WHATs of this world. ❤🤗❤

Maria Montessori considered that the outdoor environment should be an extension of the indoor classroom. Nature has endless opportunities for exploration, discoveries, learning.
.
Horea loves to be part of gardening activities: planting the seeds, watering the plants, harvesting the goodies offered by Mother Nature ❤❤❤

🔴 Promise to myself and Horea:

✅ we will find joy in the relaxing sound of rain drops
✅ we will find joy in talking about last summer adventures and admiring the pictures
✅ we will find joy in playing board games, singing songs, reading new books, discovering new bounding activities
✅ we will find joy in sharing tea, cookies
✅ we will find joy in being together
.
I just love this picture taken 4 years ago. It gives me the energy and strength to go further, to enjoy life and embrace all the challenges which are crossing our paths.❤❤❤

Yesterday it was the last day feeling the smell of sea, enjoying the sound of waves splashing the rocks, but also the amazing scenery ❤️💚❤️
.
After 6 weeks near/in/on the sea (Nordic, Adriatic, Aegean), it will be interesting not to see it every day. The new reality starts today 😂😂😂

"Simi, did you know that when it rains actually Zeus is crying?" (And Zeus' tears are the drops of rain we can see, touch, and feel.)...when in Greece 🇬🇷 and everything is about Greek Gods and Goddesses.
.
When we were in Copenhagen at our friends, Horea discovered Miruna's comic books: Iliad and Odyssey and he is really passionate about them. ❤
.
Imagination and creativity, but also reasoning mind are just few of the 6-12 years old child's characteristics. If we, as adults we can offer them the tools to feed their characteristics, learning will be about joy, fun, discovery, and of course also about: I want some more.
.
What books do your children love?
