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.?

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.?

 How do you define Montessori?  I have been hesitating, procrastinating, postponing this post since even before our little one was born. I guess in the back of my mind somewhere I figured I would eventually happen upon that perfect Resource that would allow me to understand  what the whole concept was about a bit more clearly. Like we do this day and age, I turned to a popular digital community.  Without going too much into detail of a specific situation, I will just say that after realizing the authorities in "that group" were just as confused as I was, I chose to write this blog post (instead of any other nefarious action I could have chosen). #angryEmailAnyone ...WITH THAT IN MIND...  Here, at MaMaws Montessori, will set the following to be understood; before the age of 2, we define our Montessori practices as a three part daily system: 1. Menu focused, 2. Indoor bins, 3. Outdoor exploration.  We thank you for your time to...

 I don't know what is in the air, but the last few days have been really difficult. On the one han, I am excited that our state is going to "back to normal" status but not sure what that means as far as us teachers who have to think about public safety as well?. 🤷‍♀️ 😖

There are so many things to focus on these days; I had great intentions of running both blogs as a digital resume-of-sorts (maybe portfolio -esque if you will) BUT I will finally admit defeat.  Well, maybe modify my mechanics of thinking? Basically, my main focus will be the Patreon page as well as my one-on-ones.  If I find time to update the blogs and social medias, then  Great ; however, if not I will not stress about  that . ******* “ Hey friend, do you really expect us to PAY $$$ to keep up with you?!” No, I do not.  If this is what you think, DM #plz&tyvm. “ So you are going to charge for everything now!?” Not everything; however, everyone’s time is valuable; agree?? “Look I am having a hard time too- I can’t afford $$$ a month.” Life is a b*tch; is it not?  Fret not, I will still do my best to remain active (as appropriate) on the SocMed channels; we can keep up that way?   ******* This will be the active post f...

Whether you are conscious of the play pandemic, manically minding mindfulness, or just trying to do what’s best (like us?) Then you may share and the feeling of overwhelmed-ness at times.? If you’re ever curious about my punctuation theories on this blog just let me know? ;) However, name brands are always a great tool; however, sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Below you will see a couple of Learning resources (aka: toys) we purchased on the web recently. This all wooden tree is a great activity for little one to sink his budding teeth into, and we are eager to teach him how to pick up; . This was originally purchased with the intent to be a night light but it has turned out to be so much more than that; Do you go by name brand? How do you choose your toys, learning resources, or other ways to Montessori?

This post has been a long time information;  don't be surprised if every time you come back it changes?!  Starting off simply is probably best: I created this document a while back for a friend and am in the process of updating it. 🤞   This should be a decent starting off point to any body intrested and the Texas essential knowledge and skills or kindergarten!? https://drive.google.com/file/d/129WTgv8E6AbmRvKG0RGeoprd2-uxeFOk/view?usp=drivesdk

#100dayzo2020 #mmm2020 #mrsrah314 #msrach314 #parenting Do you think about their goals? Do you focus on their skills and development? Are we referencing standards from faith, the state education system, or what? Is background or general knowledge some thing to consider? Here are some info graphics I keep in mind when planing to the individual & their lessons: Here are some great resources that combine a lot of themes from above. ¿What tools do you use to help you focus?  ¿What are some pillars in your particular or peculiar planning?
