Montessori in Israel – Is that Possible? | Montessori in Israel
https://davideri.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/hello-world
Just another WordPress.com weblog. What is Montessori anyway? Montessori in Israel – Is that Possible? That is the question. After eight years of living and breathing Montessori in New Jersey, we (my wife Miriam and I), moved to Israel. After a year in Israel we are starting to miss Montessori. We are in the process of exploring the possibility of advancing the Montessori method and/or principles here in Israel. A school? Younger children or older children? So, what is it that we love about Montessori?

the secret of childhood: Freedom and Choice - a Fundamental Concept
http://thesecretofchildhood.blogspot.com/2010/06/freedom-and-choice-fundamental-concept.html
June 9, 2010. Freedom and Choice - a Fundamental Concept. I have been discussing the importance of Freedom and Choice with a friend of mine who is teaching in a Montessori School (6 to 9 room). We were digging up some quotes about the topic which supported our ideas about why freedom and the ability to choose were so integral to the Montessori environment. I thought to include them below as food for thought. About the child and his choices:. Montessori education is designed to awaken interest and to allo...

June 24, 2010. I have just finished making this Gobbi Mobile for a friend of mine who gave birth to a little girl. I have made the mobile a few times out of various materials with varying levels of success. I am really pleased with this effort and wanted to share. I have been thinking of making Montessori Infant Materials for sale and I'm wondering whether anyone out there would be interested in buying this sort of thing? June 9, 2010. Freedom and Choice - a Fundamental Concept. If the object meets the i...

the secret of childhood: Montessori Conference - Part 2
http://thesecretofchildhood.blogspot.com/2009/05/montessori-conference-part-2.html
May 16, 2009. Montessori Conference - Part 2. Paul Epstein's Keynote Speech was about looking forward to the next century of Montessori, and building upon the foundations of the previous century. He believes that it is no longer enough to live off the legacy of Montessori without putting something back. He said that the legacy of the first 100 years is centered around the "transformative moment of concentration". But he says that "concentration" is really only one part of the equation. Paul breaks down t...

the secret of childhood: Montessori Conference - Part 1
http://thesecretofchildhood.blogspot.com/2009/05/montessori-conference-part-1.html
May 16, 2009. Montessori Conference - Part 1. I promised some information about my time at the annual Montessori Australia Council Conference in Brisbane, a few weeks ago. It will probably come in dribs and drabs - sorry for making you all wait! I have actually just applied for a job teaching a Lower Elementary Class (6 to 9 year olds) and I got it! This is great because my little boy can join the school community too - in the 3 to 6 class. So I will be spending my days slaving over the laminator! Since ...

the secret of childhood: Montessori Infant Ball
http://thesecretofchildhood.blogspot.com/2009/05/montessori-infant-ball.html
May 10, 2009. I spent the weekend sewing. Not my usual pastime, but I had a lot of fun and I am very proud of the results. The impetus, was the birth over the last month of three new babies into our Montessori community. It has become a sort of tradition for me to make one of these balls for each new baby born to a Montessori family. I thought to include photos of each step in case any of you are inclined to whip out your sewing machines! The first step - of which I have no picture (sorry! Now sew three ...
