Channeling Maria

I have finally bit the bullet and committed to something.  I signed up for a one day workshop on Montessori education.  I know, one day is no big thing, baby steps for me.  I feel like I know more than the average person about Montessori philosophy (assuming the average person knows nearly nothing about it) since I did do some reading (not a lot) about it when we chose it for our children's preschool.  I always meant to read at least one of those Maria Montessori books and never got around to it or maybe I started it but didn't finish it.  Anyway while I read some about the philosophy, I still don't know much about the actual tools they use in the classroom.  I learn a lot when I'm invited to my son's classroom and he shows me what he's been working on.  I'm excited to learn about all of it from the teacher point of view and see if its something I want to put more energy towards.  It should be so interesting all around.  I'm hoping for nothing short of Maria Montessori speaking to me that this is the right thing for me.
