So much growth in such little time! I've watched them grow from tiny buds writing their names, asking for tied shoes, learning to color in the lines, and recognizing letters and numbers, all the way to full grown flowers writing paragraphs (YES, PARAGRAPHS!! haha), reading on the 2nd grade reading level, joining The Shoe Tying Club, and adding and subtracting numbers using many platforms. They cease to amaze me! And every day I ask them, "Who taught you all of this?! This is amazing." The looks on their faces are just priceless. Just like any other garden, our 'garten' is very diverse and each person has his or her own special place. We celebrate and embrace our differences and similarities daily. Some of us are soccer players, readers, mathematicians, ballerinas, song writers, singers, 'imaginationists', leaders, actors, directors, football player
