Being a Montessori Teacher it's really nice to see such wonderful ideas being implemented in your home. <br /><br />I am A Montessori teacher with both Montessori and Regular mainstream ed background and have some experience in special needs too. I am currently writing a parent hand book taking the best of everything I have learned along the way. I was thinking about illustrating some of the ideas. I noticed you have a ton of pics on your blog of things similar to what I have mentioned in my book. I was wondering if you would consider letting me use your pictures?<br /><br />Thanks and keep up the great work!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905351886370741285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-75063925663898815582012-08-24T19:41:43.617-03:002012-08-24T19:41:43.617-03:00I love your post - I used a lot of your ideas in o...I love your post - I used a lot of your ideas in our astronomy studies. Just FYI - the Montessori Printshop packet of moon control card, etc. is INCORRECT. Their control card shows the moon as brightly lit as it blocks the sun. It is black as a full moon. It tosses off each other their depictions of the phases of the moon. We just got it today doing Oreo cookie moon phases and reading the Nat Geo Moon book - love that book....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723475475513910714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-81984887941625266912011-07-31T19:05:27.170-03:002011-07-31T19:05:27.170-03:00What a great unit!

A few days ago, I came across your blog when I was searching for Montessori materials - which I ended up reading almost all your post (I'm now in December 2010).<br /><br />What intrigue me most is how you decided to home school your son. It's actually something rare in Malaysia - almost everyone goes to public school. The wealthy goes to private school. Does your son take any public exams?Waileng Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372609872202438987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-83046960223247557562011-07-26T23:51:15.387-03:002011-07-26T23:51:15.387-03:00I love these!

Have you given any thought to how James will be homeschool after the arrival of your new "coconut"? I'm still unsure how to start homeschooling my 3 year old with his baby sister around. One thing is sure, you've got me inspired to figure it out with all these activities I could do with my little boy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286098109706338772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-59085891822729814902011-07-26T15:41:58.578-03:002011-07-26T15:41:58.578-03:00you are very inspiring.
