MaMaws' Montessori

     Have you been there?  We know we have; you finish giving your lesson (yes, glossing over all the effort and work done to create the lesson, gather the resources, etc - that'll be for another post?) the assignment has been given AND completed, and here you sit with your stack of papers to grade. Then you finish grading them.    Omg?!  What to do!?  If you use the grades, with no curve, your poor kiddos are going to get grounded this weekend for sure!!  But, you don't believe in curves; it is kind of your thing.  However, this is the first time you have given this assignment, or the whole class was just introduced to this concept, ie engagement  part of the 7E-Cycle.  Again, what to do? Use This Resource!!!

 What planning for LO looks like this morning: What planning for us looks like: Tag us with yours!! #mmm2020

   So, every time we have a visit to the pediatrician with the LO I feel inspired. This time it was the nutrition posters. You know, the one that encourages you to choose your plate with specific colors? #foodGroups #portionManagement    Next big milestones should be stepping-stones to rearing&math, right?! Phonemic awareness and numeracy here we COME!! Anybody have any suggestions before thy at post gets tackled.? We will be looking for your tags on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.    Hoping the resources we share have been helpful?? Be sure to let us know?! #mmm2020  #september2020

Hey ,  ...feeling overwhelmed yet?  Please, rest assured that we feel the same way!!  While in the process of gathering resources, primarily to support a small group class-structure, I have chosen to be selective in the resources to share at this time.  Rest assured updates are forthcoming. Here are a couple of resources that may be of some use to get started.? (Creating accounts will help by saving progress and in some cases necessary to assess the content, or if "Guest" option is available this is a choice as well.)     https://bookadventure.com ~  Described as similar to AR programs used in schools.     https://allinonehomeschool.com ~ Quite a comprehensive collection of contents. ReadWorks.org ~ Offers resources for differentiated reading instruction & easy 2 use. XtraMath.org ~ Web-based resource designed to help master basic math facts. Not what you were looking for?
