I just wonder if it would work with my younger kids. I would think that they would just run in there and dump out everything on every tray and shelf. Does your son do that? I have really been struggling to figure out a good school routine and good activities to do with my girls. My four year old will start kindergarten in August and is so excited about it. But I want to give her a good structured school time here at home before then so she can be more prepared. We live in Germany right now for my husband's schooling so my daughter is excited about learning German. Do you have any suggestions about how to set up a classroom/routine/lessons with such a range of kids? How can we start doing school time like this?Katie Kenningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466043517494425029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-84355517570947565492011-09-05T17:15:13.004-03:002011-09-05T17:15:13.004-03:00I just stumbled upon your blog via Pinterest, and ...I just stumbled upon your blog via Pinterest, and I have to say, this is one of the most well-done Montessori home classrooms I've seen. As a trained Montessori classroom teacher, I generally stay away from blogs from Montessori homeschoolers - simply because anyone can say that they are "Montessori", whether or not they stay true to the philosophy. You seem to have a pretty good grasp of it, however, and I've seen a few ideas I'd like to borrow for my students. =)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477289474478228248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-30051791231004633362011-08-22T12:22:56.268-03:002011-08-22T12:22:56.268-03:00Where did you get those shelves?

My oldest daughter, Stacy, was two and my twin sons were infants. Our first school room was in the living room of our small mobile home. By the time Stacy was 7 we had two more babies and had moved three times. Setting up the school room was always so much fun. Exception for the bathroom and kitchen, every room in the house has been the schoolroom at one time or another. My youngest graduated in May, 2010 making me a retired homeschool mom. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Time passes much too quickly! I love your blog and plan on sharing it with my daughter and grandchildren.dkillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682621854905348425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-6236179449282028022010-10-19T16:07:14.327-03:002010-10-19T16:07:14.327-03:00I always love to see how everyone organize their s...I always love to see how everyone organize their spaces.
