I am a daycare provider and a homeschool mom of 2 preschool boys. This is my first year of homeschooling. I have a great curriculum but often get extremely frustrated when the children are not interested in anything I seem to be saying. That being said, I don't know how affective it is. I happened upon your site last night and have since read everything and you have given me hope: not to give up. I love this view of learning and plan on adopting it...um...today! I have already told/read your articles to my husband so he's on board as well. But, Im at a loss as to where to even start? I have a curriculum that I love mainly since its based on reading. The children are not interested in the journaling or coloring aspect. My home, due to the daycare, is set up well and (fairly) organized. How do I begin to incorporate Montessori teaching in my homeschool? Making a placemat if the children are interested in helping? Sorting items? Is it okay to introduce skills, for example: pre-writing, if the children are not necessarily interested in that? Or does that go against the Montessori view of learning? I guess my main question is: what are some basic steps/rules to starting Montessori teaching? Thanks so much for your blog and help in advance!! I absolutely love your blog!
