The purpose of this blog is to serve as a discussion forum on general Montessori philosophy and practice for Montessori parents and teachers. It will not be used for announcements, messages, or schedules particular to my classroom. Nor will it be used as a parent conference tool regarding progress of individual students. Please refer to specific students by age and gender only (no names). Looking forward to a lively exchange of questions and ideas!

FREE PODCAST ABOUT MONTESSORI
A good resource for both parents and teachers. Free podcast on Itunes called Montessori for Parents Podcast. Info about the curriculum, methods, and child development. Very good, in my opinion. Post any questions or discussion here!

CHILDREN ABSORBING POLITICS!
Today in the lunch line, discussion about President Obama came up. One boy says, "I don't like Obama." (Why?) "He lies!" (What did he lie about?) "I don't know, but my Dad says he lies!" :) :0
Then another boy chimes in, "My Dad doesn't like Obama either!" (Really? Why?) "My Dad says he steals his money!"
It was really funny, but is also a good example of how easily words, ideas, and attitudes can be absorbed! Now just be sure you keep talking about how interesting and fun school is!
