It amazes me that a teaching method that was used to help children in low income areas, with learning disabilities, has become a teaching method only the rich can afford. Don't forget Geography, and Science. Both are very important.

I am an Ami teacher there are many more things you can do at home for practical life. Polishing shoes, washing the table polishing metal objects, grinding coffee beans, dusting, sweeping, folding, braiding, cutting, flowers and all of the frames like buttoning, zipping now tying. You can also make sandpaper letters and numbers by hand with sandpaper and a couple layers of stiff construction paper. Vowels are blue consonants are red. I hope this helps.

Such great ideas. We're currently paying $2000 a month for Montessori, $600 is amazing.

Daycare is like 1700-2200 a month by me :( $600 a month sounds like a dream!!

This is so inspiring! I am learning about Montessori as we have decided to home school our 13 month year old baby boy..Thanks so much for being so uplifting and clear :)

Yay, Mom!! I have been working in childcare for about 12 years and what you said in the beginning about how much it cost and how you have to figure out that you ARE capable of providing your children with quality care and Early Education is a beautiful thing that I have decided every parent needs to understand. Just beautiful.

I came across Montessori school reading a comment from a PrinceEa video here on YouTube and I have to say this kind of reminds me the way I was taught as child. Traditional schooling has changed so much since I was a child and I am scared for today's youth. I am going to start doing more research for my 16 month old son. I do some things now but this video gave me a boost to look more in to the Montessori way. Great video mom!

Thank you for making this video! There are two Montessori schools in our town average out at $980 a month not counting extra fees. It’s just unobtainable for the average family. But we refuse to settle for public/ government schooling. This gives us an alternative method to give give her the Montessori method without breaking the bank in the process!

Great Ideas! With the sand and beans, you could paint the beans gold and say, “they are digging for gold!” (my son likes to do this outside in the dirt so that’s why that came to mind) The our of order numbers in the egg dish is brilliant.

Way to go, Teacher! Spread the love of Montessori method. Can't wait to use this in my class.

[cisneros]

Love this video, love the tips. I'm a stay at home momma and my son's teacher which is why we decided to introduce Montessori activities in his daily curriculum at home. Would love to see more videos of Teaching Montessori at home from you! Please?

ShillerLearning has open and go Montessori curricula for math and language arts! Each kit is multi year and has printable consummables for multiple children.

I am a montessori teacher, and yes is awesome what you did but it take a lot of the development of the child in order to give the appropriate lessons. Yes! Practical life It is one of the main areas and the sensorial area to prepare the child for the harder areas, such as language and math. But t every area has a purpose!we as teachers we have to observe and see and how we have to work with every child because we work an every child’s phase. An example if the child’s visual discrimination is not developed, means no recognition of numbers or sounds. We have to work and focus on Sensorial which it does has a lot of the material that works by the senses, example.. pink tower has a set of pink cubes, which is larges to smallest! His visual discrimination is going to work by seeing a large cube and a small cube. The child will learn that the letters are not the same, numbers are not the same ! They are different! And learning math as well by counting! Colors Etcc . Until the child’s visual discrimination has developed than the child’s is ready to move to a different area. And successfully move on! Eye !! Very important that the child has to manipulate everything on concrete material in order to understand sooner.

OK so you have your centers set up, do the kids actually do it? I feel like mine would just throw stuff and then ask to go outside or watch TV

[phyliciajoykloes]

That very very simple. I might need to tell the parents at my school about this.

I’m just learning about Montessori. I have two boys ages 3 and 4. I feel like if I had those beans projects out for my kids, there would be beans and sand all over my house and probably in their eyes and hair as well. Also, they would probably play beauty salon with those scissors too. I’m so overwhelmed.... these Montessori kids must be extremely well behaved. Maybe my boys aren’t cut out for this kind of stuff. 😞

wished I could afford for my kids to go to this school but wow its like sending them off to college. Thanks for the cheat sheet, I will be trying this out.
