Oliver wraps up his third grade year this week. This is a big transition year in Montessori from “Lower Elementary” to “Upper Elementary.” Oliver has spend the past three years in the same classroom. At this point, he is one of the leaders. Next year he will enter a 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classroom as one of the newcomers. He is, of course, both ready and excited for the change.

The final days of school have dress up themes. Wednesday’s theme was “Fancy.” Alas, Oliver discovered that he had outgrown his suit, but we think he came up with a pretty good substitute. And the hat! Love the hat.
