A beautiful tradition in a Montessori classroom, the "Walk around the Sun" is the special birthday celebration for the child on his/her special day. Using the birthday as a teaching moment, the child walks around the "sun" (a special candle) the number of times corresponding to the number of years since their birth. Meanwhile, mom and dad share stories and pictures about the child. With Miss Tina taking the pictures and Miss Shana explaining the earth's journey, this day was bittersweet for Mamma, .... our last "Walk Around the Sun" at Mountain Sun Community School, a special Montessori experience.
