I don't know how many of us are around here, but I was wondering if there was any interest in an ongoing thread dedicated to Montessori in the home?
I have a 2.5 year old DD who we can't afford to send to Montessori. I've done the NAMC online training for 3-6, and we plan to homeschool DD in a Montessori/eclectic manner. We're starting a little early because we'll have a newborn when DD turns 3, and I'd like to have her into a routine of school before he arrives.
Right now we're working with a lot of homemade stuff -- mostly practical life and printables (I love Montessori for Everyone!). But we've recently been given an incredibly generous gift of many of the basic materials for a primary classroom, so now I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival and planning all sorts of things that seemed out of reach before.
Anyone else out there?
