Snow Day

 We got a few inches of snow last night. We had a snow day. The kids were out of school and I didn't have to go to work. Some kids went to Grandma's yesterday. Etta had fun playing.....

 

Some Montessori inspired activities for the toddler classroom....

 I am lucky to work at a school that allows me to explore a lot of learning and teaching styles. I like to borrow a lot of ideas from different philosophies. The Montessori tradition is one of them. I like how many if not all items used in play and learning are real items. Young children enjoy emulating older children and adults. Using household items in play just comes naturally. There is no need to invest in expensive electronics toys or gadgets. Here are a few activities I put together this weekend.
