This is the time of year for gift-giving, and it’s not a surprise that I like to give my children educational gifts mixed in with the toys. The great thing is there are lots of fantastic places offering educational games, activities, books, kits, and crafts for every age group. Here are some of my favorites!
People frequently ask me whether or not their child would do well in a Montessori setting. Many parents find out about the Montessori method and think it sounds like a great way of learning, but they are unsure as to whether it would work for their child.
Recently I have received quite a few questions about children with special needs (autism, ADHD, and others) and how they can fit into the Montessori environment. Since many of the questions were similar, it seemed like a good idea to jot down some thoughts about this topic.
There are several things about the Montessori philosophy and materials that make it a wonderful option for special needs children, and several things that can cause some difficulty also. Please note that I am speaking in generalities; every school is different so there’s a lot of variation out there.
Welcome to autumn! We are enjoying the cooler temperatures and apple cider. My husband, Bruce, has been hard at work updating the rest of the maps from the Continent & Country Kits. They are beautiful!
Over the past year and a half, I’ve enjoyed scouring the internet for interesting links to share at our Montessori for Everyone Facebook page.
While I love sharing information there, one negative is that as links move down the page, they eventually roll off the page and it’s hard to go back later and find them.
So, I took some time to assemble this list of all the helpful links I’ve shared on Facebook.
We’ve got a few updates to share with you! Besides making new materials each month, we also try and update some of our older materials when we have a chance.
Workplans are a great tool for elementary-age children – read on to learn more!
While you’re setting up your classroom for the new school year, you’ll be planning lessons for language, math, history, and geography.
But one thing we sometimes forget to plan for is peace education.
