As I had the luxury of spending a day in Indianapolis yesterday attending a joyous Curriculum Mapping conference, I noticed that much of what Dr. Heidi Hayes-Jacobs was saying needed to be done in the classroom to benefit our children the most, has been going on in our classrooms at Towles and in Montessori classrooms now for 100 years. Sometimes I may question what I am doing or how I am teaching, but never in my two years have I questioned the method. I think it is amazing how progressive and innovative the thinking was, and is, that Dr. Montessori brought to education across the world. Fidarsi is a great term Josh. Kudos brother.
Also I just wanted to say hi to all and hope the break is allowing for much needed relaxation.
