Here is a link forwarded to us by Maren Schmidt, who enjoyed the “Animal School” video which can be seen at http://www.raisingsmallsouls.com/ .    This short production serves to remind of us of something we all know, but often forget – that each child is a unique human being.  It is clearly inspired by the poem “Animal School” which has been around for some time now, and appears to be in the public domain.

Once upon a time, a group of parents decided to get together and start a Montessori School.  They searched far and wide for a teacher and eventually decided to employ an Owl, she was well trained but in addition had spent some time traveling and had an understanding of animals in diverse situations. Furthermore she had spend quite some time focused on her own personal development and had that one trait which is so rare amongst adult animals these days – wisdom.
