You can read many of our back issues here at our web site by visiting American Montessori Consulting's Home Page. American Montessori Consulting P.O. Box 5062 Rossmoor, CA 90720 Heidi Anne Spietz, Editor Frances Henderson, Manager ISSN 1084-743X Young children in a Montessori setting are introduced to exercises which help them to recognize shapes, sizes and colors. Students are involved in hands-on activities like the pink tower, cylinders, the broad stair and the long stair to name a few. Preschoolers also learn to identify primary colors and arrange colors according to shade. Maria Montessori provides examples of these and other exercises in Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook. The following lessons provided in this issue, augment, in our opinion, many of her lesson planning ideas as outlined in her handbook. To learn more about the pedagogy you'll want to borrow Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook, as well as many of her other titles. You should be able to easily obtain copies at your local library. To further assist you with your spring/summer creative lesson planning ideas, you'll want to visit many of the sites we have recommended in this issue. The following web sites provide excellent supplemental lesson planning activities for the younger set.
