Montessori Resources

This one is for Jenn @ MrLittleMan.  She’s doing all sorts of cool things with her son’s tot school so check it out!  Awhile ago she inquired about some of our Montessori inspired work.

Here are my favorite resources.

Online:

• Montessori Primary Guide: great ideas for many basic activities.
• MontessoriMom: a list of early practical life skills.
• Montessori for Everyone: a list of essentials for a toddler classroom.
• NAMC Curriculum: I haven’t purchased anything but if you click on the link under each picture you can see the table of contents for each manual.  That alone is very inspiring.
• Deb at LivingMontessoriNow is an amazing resource for everything Montessori.  I’ve had a few questions already and she has been a big help to me.

In Print:

• Basic Montessori: Learning Activities for Under-Fives by David Gettman is by far my favorite book.  If I could only read or buy one that’s the one I would choose.
• Teaching Montessori in the Home: The Pre-school Years by Elizabeth G. Hainstock is essentially the same as Gettman’s book except in more casual language.  It does have more information regarding at home preschool specifically.

If anyone has specific information let me know, I have too many resources listed in Evernote to post them all here! 🙂
