Check it out!!
Lori from Montessori for Everyone asked for some submissions to a lovely Montessori publication by Montessori.org, and it's out, and Violet is on page 24!!! She is pictured after just completing our Africa Puzzle Map and Arrows from our Geography Center!!
This is a great way to get inspired for the upcoming school year in all things Montessori.
Thanks to Lori for including a little of our Sweetness and Light!
Blessings,




Oh wow, how exciting for the both of you! Congratulations Violet! :)
This reminds me, how is your book coming Meredith?

Meredith - just finished listening to your talk on CD from the FCLC and am inspired to add some more "sweetness and light" in our home as we incorporate a busy baby into the mix this year!
I'm also clicking your links these days, Meredith, looking for things to do with the under two set. Clara will go from 16-24 mo this school year.
I do make some things from Slow and Steady Get Me Ready. Here are some of the other things I have saved over the years: balls, blocks, books,simple knob puzzles, long scarf in an oatmeal box with a slit in the lid, juice can lids that go in a container with a slit, boxes with lids, stacking rings, the safe clothespins that go in an egg carton with holes, wooden nesting cups, wooden nesting boxes, jack-in-the-box, push down top, pull toy, push toy, baby dolls with cradle and high chair, hammer down the pegs, shape sorter, big polished rocks to "pling" from one metal bowl to another, etc.
She is addicted to the Baby Signing Time DVDs. The vol. 1-3 set is ordered and on it's way!
A good collection so far, but do you have any more ideas for me? Links? Hand-outs? Books?
She is my busiest little one so far. Non-stop. The kind who will toddle outside unbeknownst to me if she finds a door ajar!
I would appreciate whatever you can offer to broaden my horizons!
Thanks!
