Recital at the Kindergarten

At C’s school, there is a music class that happens on Tuesdays… so far he has refused to participate, saying that the woman sings and plays the piano too loudly and that she won’t stop. This made me laugh out loud when C’s teacher told us, because that’s just so him. He actually told me many times to stop typing on our clicky keyboard because it’s too loud.

But, the class prepared a little recital with a troll-theme (you wouldn’t think there are that many children’s songs with trolls, but trolls are very popular here) and C actually participated. About half way through he came and sat with us, though.

There’s some pretty iconic Montessori materials there: the metal insets and the bead chains. C’s teacher says that he isn’t that into the materials, and usually resists getting lessons. I wish he would just get over it — I think he would really like the bead chains. It’s about counting, sets, and multiplication. He’s been into maths lately.

It’s really a beautiful space.
