I love Montessori, and everything about it. From learning everyday skills, to hands on learning that enriches and helps the mind remember through touching, feeling, and being able to wrap your mind around it at your own pace.

Well, easy enough, our hands-on practical skills lesson was on cleaning plants. We have one plant, (they are too much work to remember to water, on top of all other motherly/house/teacher responsibilities), but the kids loved the simple lesson!

Also, a fun science experiment, I’ve never done this, and if you haven’t, you should try it! It was really cool and funky. You mix corn starch with water, going from one liquid, and one solid, and finding out what they create. It’s definitely the weirdest thing to touch and figure out. It looks like it could be liquidy, but it’s firm, but when warmed by your hand, it’s solid state softens. It’s really cool and fun!
