Montessori Had a Farm EIEIO

Child of the Redwoods
About this episode

Montessori had a....FARM?! Yes, she really did. She loved farms and all they had to offer children. She taught children the names of the animals, she encouraged children to work outside in the garden growing and harvesting food to eat, and she also used it - (I kid you not!) - for GRAMMAR lessons! Yup, a toy farm is a MONTESSORI ESSENTIAL. 😆 That's what we're talking about today in our Live on YouTube. Come join us!
