As I mentioned in an earlier post, my family recently moved to a new house and I have had a great time setting up a classroom in the basement for my children, ages 9 and 6.
Today I’d like to cover what I’ve done for their language studies; while this is in a home classroom, it’s very similar to what I did in my school classrooms, just smaller.
If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll know that one thing I love about Montessori is how we use small objects to enliven our materials.
There are some great ways to use objects, especially in the Language area, so I had some fun today taking pictures for all of you. Hopefully you’ll find a few new ideas here.
Many of you purchase CD-ROMs from me, and then are interested in buying new files when they come out. So, I thought I’d put up a handy post with a list of new materials by month. My records go back to February 2008, so that’s where I’ll start.
I’ll be updating this list every month, and linking to it from the New Materials page. So, you’ll always be able to check back here and see the new items every month.
