Montessori Homeschooling: What is Montessori?
http://montessorihomeschooling.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-is-montessori.html
A Montessori homeschooling parent of two children age 12 and 14. Thursday, March 19, 2009. The prepared environment and the role of the teacher. When that happens, the adult must quietly step back.

A Montessori homeschooling parent of two children age 12 and 14. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Josiah's school work while away.
