These classroom are amazing!
Thanks, JDaniel4’s Mom! I’m amazed at the wonderful homeschool classrooms there are, too! I was lucky to have materials from my Montessori preschool when I started homeschooling, and it’s truly inspiring to see what so many homeschoolers do from scratch. I hope you’re having a wonderful 2012! 🙂
Ooohhhh I’m going to check out the post on how to set up your room! Following you from the Hip Homeschool Hop!
Thanks, Christine! I hope you’re able to use some of the ideas. Have a happy 2012! 🙂
All great posts. I remember that I used a lot of those practical life activities from the post for my boys (well, I still am using them). Thanks for the great resource that Living Montessori Now provides! Happy New Year!
Thanks for your very kind words, Jackie! I’m so glad you were able to use the practical life ideas. I hope you’re having a truly blessed 2012! 🙂
How creative! I loved looking at these pics.
Thanks for your kind comment, DM! I always love to see which posts were the most popular throughout the year. I hope you have a fabulous 2012! 🙂
Thanks, I like the one on readying a baby room as we are expecting. Which was the most enjoyable to write?
Thanks, Krissy! I really enjoyed writing them all, although http://livingmontessorinow.chitwoodskating.com/2010/08/17/how-to-set-up-a-montessori-preschool-classroom-at-home/ was especially fun because I relived a lot of our early homeschooling memories when I was writing it. Have a wonderful 2012! 🙂
Thank you for the great list! I realized I missed a few of these posts so I will need to go back and check them! I have that book and adore it to no end. In fact, we are currently making our sandpaper letters from it and used the stencils in the back. So far each one has turned out beautifully. But boy, do I wish I had made a montessori baby room for my 2.5 year old from the beginning! oh well, next time 🙂
Thanks for your kind comment, Moriah! It’s wonderful that you’re making Montessori materials! Montessori baby rooms are awesome, but it’s always the love that’s the most important anyway. Have a fabulous 2012! 🙂
