Love that grip on the crayon Fallon! Our 2's work so hard on building their hand strength and fine-motor skill to begin to use writing utensils!

“I then came to realize that everything about a child should not only be in order, but that it should be proportioned to the child's use, and that interest and concentration arise specifically from the elimination of what is confusing and superfluous."

Maria Montessori, The Secret of Childhood

Using pebbles to write 2021 not only gets us in the mood for a new year of happiness, peace and prosperity, it also helps to develop the “pincer-grip,” which is a precursor to writing. The child’s hand strength increases with each pick up and put down of a pebble.

Allowing Teachers To Be Their Authentic Selves. — Creative Gardens

READ: “Allowing Teachers To Be Their Authentic Selves.”

https://www.creativegardensva.com/blog-2/allowing-teachers-to-be-their-authentic-selves

creativegardensva.com Teaching is hard.  Yeah, I said it.  Teaching is one of the hardest occupations you can have.  It’s hard enough to manage 10, 15, 20, 30 students, let alone also having to ensure that all of your parent community is happy and feels that their child is progressing forward.
