I have taken a break from blogging for a few months while I have been riding the wave of change in my life. I have changed jobs and have moved to The Dancing Moose Montessori School in Salt Lake City. I am excited by this new location and the chance to work in an environment that is much more conducive to an authentic approach to Montessori. This will also give me the chance to create a blog where you can see more of what happens in my classroom. With the change of employment comes a change in location. I am busily moving from one house to another. My living room is littered with school materials (waiting to go into storage space at the school and on the shelves) and moving boxes.
I have also undertaken a MEPI (Montessori Education Programs International) Early Childhood certification program this summer through IGS (Institute for Guided Studies). This course is MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education) certified. MACTE is the international standard setting and accrediting body for Montessori teacher education. This training has and is changing my life as a teacher. I have several times during the course said, "I feel like I need to erase my blog and just start over." While I will not be starting over, I will be implementing changes immediately. There will be posts - especially in the language area - that I WILL erase completely. I am sorry to anyone who has printed my blue and green reading... they will be changing. I have been, for some time, troubled about finishing my green reading work. I understand the feeling of uneasiness now and know exactly how to proceed. So everyone who has been waiting so patiently for more green reading, you will instead get a COMPLETE reading program beginning with Readiness Activities leading all the way through Green Reading and Purple Reading (sight words).
I look forward to the future and all it holds. Thank you for all your support, your comments, and your love.
