I just realized that we've not done an "album page" presentation in over 3 months now! But there are areas we need to get back into it now that other projects are winding down. <br /><br />When we live our education, it will just naturally look a lot like Montessori - because the heart of Montessori is observation of real life and the needs of real life :) <br /><br />Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810423759943558521.post-17320141323255179152012-10-20T05:39:56.244-04:002012-10-20T05:39:56.244-04:00I find we tend to do more of the Montessori Curric...I find we tend to do more of the Montessori Curriculum in Maths, Geometry and Grammar. Mechanics, Reading, Spelling etc come more naturally and incidentally in our homeschool environment than they did when I was teaching in a classroom. We have used the Great Lessons as a spring board but have not used too many of the key lessons that follow in each area - perhaps this will come in future years - my son is only 6. We tend to have a happy blend of following a wide range of interests for our cultural or cosmic work after exposure to the lessons. We read an awful lot. We have a small group of children who get together once a week to do big learning, presentations and get a taste for that positive peer pressure you spoke about.At Home with Montessorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406680010205432300noreply@blogger.com
