A Cronan Montessori Moment

From JoAnne Cronan (mom of James in Primary III):A few days ago while driving in the car, James recalled a winter-break visit to the Science Center. It basically went like this:"Mom, remember the day we went to the Science Center and saw that BRAIN? And I drew the brain?" James had drawn a pretty close replica of the brain he saw while there and even color coded the different areas. It was not at all what the planned activity was for that day, but the volunteer just went with it, and they talked about the areas of the brain as James was drawing them."Remember that guy (the volunteer demonstrating with the brain)? He saw my shirt and asked if I went to a Montessori school. I DO go to Montessori school. He said he had gone to a Montessori school, too."I do remember that day at the Science Center and the care shown to James by this former Montessorian (now in his late 40's or early 50's). I'm pretty sure that James now thinks that he is destined to work at the Science Center. It was a sweet Montessori moment, and I'm glad it made an impression on James, too.
