Montessori at Home

So after visiting all the different preschools, we decided to invoke the Montessori (allowing children to learn through self direction and exploration with guidance) at home. I used basic materials in our house (baking pans, golf balls, corks, old containers, beans, plastic cups, paper cards, etc) and made her 5 basic lessons. I may have blogged about this before, I can't remember. It's been about 3 months since I first made the lessons. But she still wants to do them at least every other day and has really mastered some of them really well. What really impresses me is how she can recognize numbers out of order. Oh and she remembers to always do her lessons on her mat. If someone sits down with her with lessons without the mat, she goes to get it.
