A walk around the sun, the Montessori Way. .

To honor Dr. Maria Montessori on her 146th birth anniversary we the Pupil Montessorians tried the traditional way of celebrating birthdays in a Montessori House of Children. . It's known the world over as the 'Walk around the Sun'.. herein the child celebrating his birthday would walk around a lit candle or lamp representing the sun with a globe in his hand in accordance with his age in years. For instance a 5 years old would go around 5 times while the rest of the children sit around in a circle singing the Montessori traditional birthday song.. so last year to commemorate Dr. Maria Montessori's birth anniversary the Pupil montessori children all assembled on the stage and sat in a circle around a lit lamp. Each child representing an year of Montessori's glorious life was given an opportunity to walk around the lamp with a globe in their hands. After that we briefed the children about her life and achievements. Then we finished the ceremony with the distribution of sweets thus ending the day on a sweet note. .
