Maitri Learning - Environment downloads

http://www.maitrilearning.com/downloads.html





Maitri Learning has a series of downloads that are OH so helpful for organizing a Montessori space - whether at school or at home.


These guides are most helpful in a rough determination of what is going to be "school" and what is going to be "home" in a homeschool environment.

And are definitely helpful for teachers in schools. I love her recommendation in every one:
JUST FOLLOW YOUR ALBUMS! If it's not in your albums, it's not on the shelves!

This is a top-notch statement for all teachers whether at school or at home. And at home, it can help delineate "school" lessons from just being home and living life (though the items will be related - some items should be "school" such as the number rods, but some items are "home" such as legos connected together to re-create the number rods!).


I am not over-excited about the downloadable papers for primary level, but they could prove useful for some people :)

Dr. Maria Montessori wanted this image to be in every Montessori environment. 

Prints can be ordered in a variety of places and placed in a simple dark wood frame for the ideal presentation. An 8x12 or so is perfect for the children to carry around, look at and copy. A larger one is excellent for further detail work. 

The peace, beauty, balance and JOY.
