Hi! We're just back from a few days of camping. Hope everyone had a good weekend too :)Just saw these gorgeous videos that Montessori Candy posted about & wanted to mention them here too. The videos are from a school called Countryside Montessori in Illinois (USA) & show children working together to prepare lunch, sit & eat together, happily clean up & then get ready for resting.
Looking at things like this make me dream of having such an experience for my boys! Please take a look & maybe we can chat in the comments about our thoughts...
I really was beautiful. It showed so clearly what children are capable of. Trying to bring such a model into homeeducation can be daunting, and yet, I have many more years to 'get it right'. :)

I saw those vids too - I love the older kids taking responsibility for settling the younger ones in for their nap
