Last night we got a sneak preview of Phantom Tollbooth and got to see just a little of Christian in his part as Humbug. Can I just say how much joy it brings me to see him in this part? It takes every bit of his quirky, unique, and loveable personality and turns into the perfect character for Christian. I seriously wonder how they could have matched him more perfectly. I hope you'll have a chance to come see this show, it is so good!

One of my favorite Montessori resources has upgraded their website and added some great information! (and it's free)
Hello, friends!
I'm happy to announce that a new and improved version of the website is now online:
moteaco.org
My heartfelt thanks to Joseph Martinka for hosting the site's contents over the last few years - thanks, James!
Like most of you, I found myself with extra "COVID time" lately, and decided to update Moteaco. Please click through and feel free to reach out with your thoughts, either here or by email: [email protected].
Hope this finds you and yours healthy and safe!

Another mom in one of the Montessori groups shared this idea and we loved it. New take on matching sounds.

Today we made solar ovens. It's a great follow up to the first great lesson because it combines states of matter and work if the sun.

I present the first great lesson today, God Who has no Hands. The experiments, especially the volcano, are always a hit.

The new school room is as done as it's going to be. School starts tomorrow. I'll have 5 this year. 1st grade-freshman. Trying to get all the things into one room is a challenge, but I love how it turned out. We also have a large open room right next door with a table for work.
