August 2019

With summer in full swing, all of the shops around town are beginning to look a lot like back to school! August in my family includes a gaggle of birthdays and a beach reunion with cousins, siblings and a very happy grandma who gets to see all five of her grandkids (normally spread from San Diego to Portland to Seattle) all in one place at the same time. It also means school supply lists, trying on sneakers from the spring to see how much little feet have grown over the summer and hoping nothing weird was forgotten in backpacks. This month we are taking a look at Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio Emilia education approaches and have a few guides to help your back to school transition go as smoothly as possible. Enjoy these last four weeks and all of the gifts that a Portland summer has to offer.

Cheers,

Mary
