Ren started school last week. He's attending one of the only Public Montessori's in the country. It's located in an old one room schoolhouse in CottonwoodCanyon about ten minutes away. I said the Pledge of Allegience with him on the first day & kinda mumbled the under god part & his teacher gave me a really sweet smile as if to say it'salright Frank. They have an orrery in the schoolhouse & he's started saying things like 3rd planet from the sun. We saw a skunk the other day & he asked me if I thought skunks were ornery? He's starting to use words that he has heard being read to him & then suddenly a meaning vacuole appears & he'll say cul-de-sac, phlogiston or ornery with perfect intent & clarity. I spent alot of time in the AMNH as a young teenager. I''ve even been thru some of the non display collections & am sure an important part of my mind was built in that place.
maybe ren could post a little report about what he's learning in school. like what's an orrery?
