Guess how much I love you….
One of the nicest books ever. I know, that most of you might know it, yet it is worth to be mentioned by EJ and in case one doesn’t know it, … , make sure you will get it and read it to your children, in class or at home.
It exists in quite a lot of languages, so there will be one that you understand…
Montessori materials
Check out this site…
Some free material for Montessorians…

It’s a nice site to receive some additional material. Ideal for ‘homeschoolers’, but also nice to add to a classroom…(mainly Children’s House and Lower Elementary/Primary).
Storytelling
Like I mentioned yesterday, I was following a workshop by Priscilla Howe, on storytelling. It was very nice and I want to share with you her link and give you some informatin on what she talked about. One topic I really liked was the Imagination Game.
Magic Box:
Take an empty box with a lid. Open it secretively, and explain that something is happening in the box. Begin with something silly, such as “Oh! I see two chickens playing football in here. The crowed is going wild. The turtle just stole the ball and made a goal.”
Pass the box to the next person and ask what is going on in the box. does not have to be the same story.
It is a fun activity and I recommend it for elementary/primary children from 6 years onwards

ADHD – All Ducks Hunt Deers
As ridiculous is sounds that ducks hunt deers, I do think that ADHD, known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dissorder, is a ridiculous ‘invention’ of todays society, to make sure that the side effects of today’s over flow of multimedia and information, is controlled, with drugs, to SIMPLY keep them ATTENTIVE.

Musical Intelligence
What Is Musical Intelligence?
Musical intelligence is the capacity to think in music and rhythm. People possessing musical intelligence are considered to have a strong appreciation for music, can easily remember songs and melodies, have an understanding of timbre and composition, can identify differences between musical pitches and generally enjoy being immersed in music. The ability to play instruments comes naturally to this type of person.
