Yesterday I went to the parents meeting for Amassia. Their school is just so great. The teacher explained what they have been up to since the beginning of the year. The Waldorf school works on epochs (era). This time, the epoch was the Natural Habitat. Amassia has been obsessing on mushrooms and wild plants. she has been asking me to youtube some of the most bizarre animals. She has been collecting small pebbles and rocks for show and tell… I love how involved they get in their material. One of the students had told the teacher that he never thought about grass or wild flowers and would usually stomp, crush them. Now, he said, I have respect for them… that was so funny and perfect.

Their Armenian teacher had surprised us with publication of all the children’s creative writing, short stories. It was a book. A real book. Amassia’s picture had made the cover!

So, if anyone asks me “are you happy with your child’s schooling in Armenia” my answer so far and has been since we have moved here “VERY MUCH!”
