Teaching Montessori in the Home: The Pre-School Years. An easy-to-follow, authoritative guide for enriching your child formative years. By Elizabeth G. Hainstock. So this book is suggested everywhere and by everyone. I don’t know why it took me so long to get it. I guess I have been relying on Pinterest and Blog posts for ideas about Montessori. Even though originally I had read some of Maria Montessori’s books before we had decided to start our family, and have a couple of other books that I read as well. I’ve been wanting to create a folder of our homeschool philosophies with sample curriculum and lessons. I wanted some book lists. I wanted to have a few scope and sequences to give me some guidelines as I am so used to working within a curriculum as a teacher. My first thought was that it’s smaller then I thought it was going be. The first quarter of the book is introductory information and then you get to good stuff. It covers exercises for practical-life, early sensorial, reading and writing, and arithmetic. Then there is a section on how to DIY a heap of the stuff you need for the exercises.
You can get all of this stuff online. But having an actual book that has been around since the late 60s actually lets me feel confident that this is how it is done.
