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.

I Love Montessori






Actually I had to do this “observation” about a child for my child development module. I too observed the child I chose having Fine motor skills underdeveloped. He is also well developed in Gross. Can that be a reason? I think I saw something like that in my text book!!! There are loads of other activities to improve fine motor skills. I was surfin the web and found some sites. Maybe you should create new exciting activities too!
Good luck with proximodistal challenge Norma!
Goodluck with Fine motor skills!
Love your blog.. This is my top site of useful sharing about Montessori class. I am a Montessori follower as a mother of two years old boy. I love your job about sea creatures. Too early for us to do this with such complex creatures but maybe can be done with easier animals such as dog, cat, bird etc.
There are few comments but this is really a usefull site.
I wrote to say, carry on writing
