Here's a great free resource from Montessori Print Shop that I've recommended in my videos. It really helps with the theory of Montessori. While it isn't exactly the same as my albums, I feel like it is still an excellent resource. As you meet more Montessori teachers, you will realize that no two training centers are alike, even in the AMI world. What's most important to keep mind is, Purpose. What makes this purposeful? I also ask the question, "What's the control of error? " If I become the control of error for my student, then learning becomes about me, the teacher, and less about the child's exploration. It limits opportunities to auto-educate. Even as an adult, we know that learning is way more fun if we correct our mistakes ourselves rather than have someone constantly looking over our shoulders to see if we are doing things correctly. We want learning to be done through intrinsic motivation.
For those studying for exams, just keep in mind that through every experience you want to understand, "what is the logical sequence of steps?" Montessori is logical. It embraces the mathematical mind, so if you get stuck on something, just think through the logic ...and if your examiners ask, "Why" you did something, just have a reason for it. If you can explain your logic, that's purposeful. It shows that you have thought about the lesson and made it personal to your world and environment, even if it is different from your album. As long you know why you are doing something, that's going to be a huge advantage for your exams!
Join me for Montessori-inspired lesson plans and ideas to challenge young readers with phonetic books. I will show different ways you can use phonetic books to assess if your child is reading or simply memorizing these booklets. These lesson will help your young reader think critically with simple phonetic booklets.
I review Christmas Clue, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Haunted Mansion Board Game, Unstable Unicorns, and Trash Pandas!
Just for my Locals supporters, I am going to be working on a full comprehensive video of all the lessons for group 4 math that will only be available here on Locals. I will put together all the videos in one bigger video with time stamps so that you will have the entire series in one place. This will be a big project for me, and I haven't finished the series yet, so it will take a bit of time, but I will start with putting out smaller collections of videos for the time being. I'll be working on joining together all the Bead Bar videos for multiplication.
If there are any complete series videos you would like me to upload, let me know. I think I have Group 2 and 3 from math that I can do as well. I want to make sure my supporters here get a complete curriculum for each area, so please make sure to comment below and what resources you need more of and I will start working on it!
Apparently someone didn't like my reviews of Montessori Outlet and decided to STRIKE my channel because I didn't recommend Montessori Outlet after my experience with them (I will post links to those videos on Rumble down below so you can see them and decide for yourself if they should have a strike). These videos are 3 YEARS OLD!
I can't figure out where the copyright issue is coming from since it was all my own original work and opinions. First Amendment speech allows me to give opinions and talk about the experiences and materials I like or don't like. It's transformative in its nature. I simply showed and reviewed the materials I received and talked about how after nearly a year, I couldn't get my entire order, so out of frustration I asked for a refund (which they gave). I haven't recommended them since.
I recorded everything through OBS or my iphone 3 years ago, but for some reason this person decided to strike these videos. I have all my original work, unedited, saved and time ...
Hey Everyone!
During September I will be working on subtraction videos for Group 4 math. I will be posting diagrams for these lessons from my album so you have a visual reference of how to do these presentations.
I'm still hoping to start a book club this year for my Locals subscribers. I have The Child in The Family outlined and it is almost ready to record, but I'm waiting to see if I can get some other Montessorians to join me in my videos so that it is more of a discussion rather than just me talking.
What other resources are people needing that I might be able to share or work on for the month of September?
