You can't have all the sensorial items out at once, or all the math or whatever. <br /><br />Thank you for this post.

Julie - yes, his Montessori equipment is set up in another room, when we lived in the little apartment I had one shelf with his Montessori things on it. He can take the things out and work with them at anytime, sometimes all goes quiet upstairs which always makes me thing 'what is he up to now?' but often I go up and he had taken something off the shelf and is busy working away - always brings a smile to my face.<br />I think having limited space is one of the most difficult hurdles for Montessori at home, I will try and do a more updated post about the set up in the house...jojoebi-designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585345777385016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-83398976303139972082009-05-14T03:43:00.000+09:002009-05-14T03:43:00.000+09:00thanks Jo for posting this!

Can I ask a clarifying question... you mentioned only putting three toys out etc... but with the Montessori stuff, do you keep it out for him somewhere and then he picks what he wants to do from those shelves? I am just trying to understand what you were writing there. <br /><br />I also live in a small flat, basically 3 rooms that all connect. So, space is limited. I am trying to figure out where to put his stuff and for now, I just put out trays for him to choose... usually about 5 different activities at a time. I pick what goes on them... and he picks which ones he wants to do when. <br /><br />Any more thoughts on super small places?

I also have purchase and made lots of materials and I know what your reader is saying about disappointment if my children don't take to some of the equipment. I have found that when my son doesn't take an interest in something that I have presented it is usually because he is not ready yet. For example, I presented the moveable alphabet 6 months ago and he was not ready. He needed more time with sandpaper letters, the sand tray for writing letters, more activities to develop his pencil grip. Just now he has taken an interest in the moveable alphabet about the same time he has become interested in writing letters and simple and nonsense words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-39987411293111168922009-05-13T21:02:00.000+09:002009-05-13T21:02:00.000+09:00thank you very much for writing this post. i'm pl...thank you very much for writing this post. i'm planning to homesch my daughter until she goes to primary sch and your blog is a great resource.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11721485563521707258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-38822181913606112852009-05-13T14:50:00.000+09:002009-05-13T14:50:00.000+09:00These are really helpful.

But now that I have U-chan who's growing fast, I still can't decide what kind of education is best for her. I'm still thinking of Kindermusik or Kumon when she's a bit older but since I'm a SAHM, the idea of teaching her on my own at an early stage seems to be welcoming. But I still have to go back again to some of your blog posts and borrow your ideas. I love especially those snacks in cupcake pans, and those visual aids you made for counting and computing. Really brilliant!Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938021733390505844noreply@blogger.com
