Asters
At some time
every summer in August I begin to notice asters blooming when I am out
walking. Asters are the signal for me
that the start of the school year is coming around again. I begin to think about which children are
returning, what the new little ones will be like, and I am reminded that it is
time to send out that back to school letter.
Another
August back to school activity is what has become our annual NHMA
workshop. This year MissE Carolan, AMI
primary certified teacher, NMI site director and NEECA school consultant and
educator, is presenting a four hour workshop on the wonderful Montessori math
materials. It is always rewarding for
teachers to assist children working with the beads and see their brains
assimilate the patterns and knowledge there as they begin to figure them
out. We are excited to share this
presentation by MissE to review important math presentations and see variations
and extensions and deeper meanings that may be new to us. Our batteries will be recharged and we will
go into the new school year with fresh enthusiasm for these brilliant
materials.
