I Love MontessoriAnother Montessori School Year Gone ByJune 3, 2011 by Miss Norma | No comments
It’s amazing how quickly this year has gone. It’s been a great year. My children have grown and learned so much. It’s incredible. I am so happy with how this school year went. My children learned so much and this makes me feel so successful. The children came in barely knowing numbers and letters. Now some of them are reading and writing. Some can count up to a hundred and recognize numbers. It’s amazing how much a child can learn if you believe in them and make them feel comfortable.
I think children know when you believe in them and when you truly want the best for them and they feed off of it. My children took leadership of their learning and went off with it. When I started this school year I had no idea that they would be advancing as much as they did.
I am so proud of them.
I cant wait to see how much more they are going to learn next school year.

At a New SchoolSeptember 19, 2009 by Miss Norma | 3 comments
Hello,
It has been a while since I had a chance to update my status. Been through some rough times but it’s a lot better now. Now I am working at a charter Montessori school. I really like it there, it’s different but workable. I am working with a 6-9 year classroom so its truly exciting and different since I’ve only worked with this age group for a little while. I do plan on going for my 6-9 year training. A lot of the materials are same as the 3-6, but they are used at a higher level. If anyone has any tips on how to work with the 6-9 classroom I would love to hear from you. I have albums that I am looking through but it’s always insightful to here from first hand experience.
Sorry to those of you that I have not responded too, it is on my to-do list, so you will be hearing from me soon.

Just a Few WordsFebruary 16, 2009 by Miss Norma | No comments
I have been going through a lot lately so I have not had time to blog. My relationship with my co-teacher has taken a toll on me. So I have had some issues at work and I actually resigned and my last day at work will be Wed, February 18. I hope I land a new job soon. I can’t believe that this actually came to the point of me losing my job. I gave it my all to make it work but when things are not meant to be there are not.
I just can’t believe that sometimes some employers don’t value their employee as much as they should. I gave my school and my profession 200% and went beyond the call of duties and they would not consider supporting me. That is why I had to leave. I decided that you cannot give your job your all because in the long run they will only look at what would benefit them. But this experience has taught me a lot and made me a stronger person.
So from here i will move on to bigger and better things.

Happy New YearJanuary 21, 2009 by Miss Norma | 4 comments
Hello and Happy New Year,
It has been a good start to the New Year. I am planning on writing more often, keeping you updated with my classroom experiences. My classroom has been going smoothly and the children are happy to be back in school. This weekend I brought home my Language and Math albums. The children are moving along quickly and I have a few in depth lessons to give so I wanted to study them so that I can feel comfortable giving them to the children. I also noticed that quite a few of the children need a lot of fine motor skills and pencil grip practice. So I also need go back to the basic Practical Life and Sensorial.
Now, I need to do my planning for next week so I will leave it here for now.

Just a Quick PostDecember 19, 2008 by Miss Norma | No comments
It has been a tough few weeks. I have a lot going on in school with the holidays and all we also had International Day. It was on Friday and it was a success. The children did beautifully and the parents were so happy with the performance.
I am working really hard and enjoy it. My husband tells me I need to take a brake and enjoy my little princess. But it is really hard to because I am devoted to my profession.
