books about: montessori     books:       Our Peaceful Classroom4 reviews Aline D. Wolf Parent Child Press, 1991 This book is helping prepare my son for preschool. My three-year-old son loves reading this book about "his" school. He will be starting a Montesssori preschool this fall, and I bought "Our Peaceful Classroom" to help give him an idea about what his preschool will be like. He has really identified with the illustrations drawn by other children in Montessori schools from all over the world. We both loved this book.             Montessori-Based Activities for Persons With Dementia4 reviews Health Professions Press, 2001 A Wonderful , Useful and Powerful Resource!

Dr. ...             Child of the World, Essential Montessori for Ages 3-12+ (Michael Olaf's Essential Montessori)6 reviews Susan Stephenson Michael Olaf Company, 1999 Montessori for parents and teachers. I must say, this is the bargain of the year for making Montessori philosophy understandable to parents. An excellent overview, practical and clear. Also, the materials offered in the catalogue section are much less expensive than those usually found in Montessori schools and so are valuable to parents for their children at home.             How To Raise An Amazing Child the Montessori Way11 reviews Tim Seldin DK ADULT, 2006 good little home companion This is no literary great, but a short and sweet little guide about montessori in the home.

I remember situations in the classroom and on the playground, which, to be honest, terrified me as a newly trained Montessori teacher serving as Donna's assistant. She would often step into one of those "terrifying" frays, placing herself ...             Mommy Manual, The: Planting Roots That Give Your Children Wings14 reviews Barbara Curtis Revell, 2005 A Must-Have for Moms! I love this book. It was a totally different perspective than the one I had been operating under. This book (as well as Barbara's other books and website) have inspired me to take a more proactive approach to my parenting and to enjoy a phase that is so often seen as difficult by other people. I really wish I'd had this book when my oldest was a preschooler, but it has still positively affected ...             Montessori: The Science Behind the Genius16 reviews Angeline Stoll Lillard Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Supreme Learning As a former Montessori student, I've been amazed at how other children develop learning methods in classroom experiences across the U.S. With our educational system in flux, how about looking to Maria Montessori and her teaching philosophies that she developed a century ago. I may hold a biased view for Montessori learning. However, Montessori believed that the 'factory method' of schooling ...             Montessori, Dewey, and Capitalism3 reviews Jerry Kirkpatrick TLJ Books, 2008 US system of education disturbingly similar to Soviet type As one who has experienced Stalinist as well as modern liberal education--the former in Hungary, the latter in Germany and the U.S.A.--and has himself been a teacher now for over 35 years, I have always been outraged at the similarity between the two supposedly diametrically opposed systems. More than in any other social realm, in education much of the West has followed more or less consistently, ...             Teach Me to Do It Myself: Montessori Activities for You and Your Child11 reviews Maja Pitamic Barron's Educational Series, 2004 Teach 'em without the Structure I am very fond of this book. It is a great guide offering almost "duh!" like activities (things that you would never even think of going out of your way to teach your kids) to do with your toddler in order to help them gain a sense of independence and accomplishment. That said, almost all the activities can be done without going out and buying a whole bunch of materials. I particularly like ...             What is Montessori? A Basic Guide to the Principles, Practices, and Benefits of a Montessori Education4 reviews Heather Pedersen, Jason A.

Emphasizing that children from birth on should be treated with respect, the same repect we would have when we have a guest in the house.

This book is a revolution for it's time and still ...             Education and Peace1 review Maria Montessori Contemporary Books Inc, 1975 Conviction for Peace "A collection of speeches revealing [Maria Montessori's] conviction for peace to be obtained by means of education.

When you start trying to understand Montessori, it can be overwhelming to navigate the countless resources "out there". I found this book and when I bought it online, I had no idea how brief it was (but then understood the low price!). THANK GOODNESS! It was an incredibly easy read that changed life in our home immediately. The ideas were so simple and the explanations for why you should ...             The Religious Potential of the Child: Experiencing Scripture and Liturgy with Young Children3 reviews Sofia Cavalletti, Patricia M. Coulter Liturgy Training Publications, 2007 Best approach to Christian education for children I've seen. Developmentally appropriate, respectful of the child's capabilities, and true to the essentials of Christianity, this approach is a quantum leap above traditional Sunday School stuff. It nurtures the child as well as the teacher, and crosses denominational lines in its effectiveness.             Montessori Resources for the 1990's: A Complete Guide to Finding Montessori Materials for Parents and Teachers2 reviews Heidi Anne Spietz American Montessori Consulting, 1997 Montessori Resources - All in one package What stands out about this book are the reviews of each product or organization mentioned.

Although, I know many home schoolers looking for curriculum and educational supplies will find the book ...             Michael Olaf's Essential Montessori: A Guide and Catalogue for Montessori Education from Birth, at Home and ...2 reviews Susan Stephenson Michael Olaf Co, 1990 Great - knocked my socks off! Every parent and grandparent should have read this book before they had children.             Education for a New World1 review Maria Montessori Theosophical Pub House, 1974 An excellent introduction to Montessori's theory This book seems to be a shorter presentation of much of the material found in _The Absorbent Mind_, which requires a good deal more persistence. At less than 100 pages, this book is easy to take in, while still containing fundamental principles of Montessori's theory of education, especially as relevant to 3- to 6-year-olds. The writing is engaging, not academic. I can easily recommend it to ...             Teaching Godly Play: The Sunday Morning Handbook3 reviews Jerome W. Berryman Abingdon Press, 1995 If you only get one of his books, get this one! In the Teaching Godly Play: The Sunday Morning Handbook, one can get a good feel for the approach and philosophy behind this new approach to Children's Christian Formation.

I have had wonderful experiences using the ...             Making Letters (Making...)2 reviews Brighter Child Interactive, 2006 great multisensory learning tool I'm a teacher, and this gives kids a tactile experience about lower case letters. Not only does my baby enjoy touching the book while I read it to him, but I cannot resist feeling the letters myself! My daughter was expected to start writing in lower case letters from the get-go in kindergarten, so this is a fun way to introduce them.
