e-book: Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities

Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities je nedavno objavljena e-knjiga. Za ideju i objavljivanje su zaslužni Deb Chitwood (autorica zanimljivog bloga Living Montessori Now) i John Bowman (autor izvrsne knjige i stranice pod nazivom Montessori At Home!). Na mom sidebaru možete vidjeti gumbić s oznakom Contributor jer se i moje aktivnosti o tome što pluta, a što tone, te o agregatnim stanjima vode nalaze u ovoj e-knjizi :)
Knjiga uglavnom sadrži aktivnosti koje su podijelili roditelji koji kod kuće školuju djecu, a ima i nekoliko aktivnosti od odgajatelja, koji su - kako bi John i Deb rekli - roditelji mnogima (Moms to many).

OVDJE pročitajte kako možete nabaviti knjigu - besplatno :)

Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities is recently published e-book. Deb Chitwood (the author of an interesting blog Living Montessori Now) and John Bowman (author of excellent book and web page Montessori at home!) are credited for the idea of creating this e-book and its publication. You can see a button labeled as Contributor on my sidebar because my activities about what floats and what sinks and about the aggregate states of water are contained in this e-book :)
The book mainly contains activities shared by homeschooling parents, but there are also several activities shared by teachers (Moms to many).

Montessori i igra - članci / Montessori and play - articles

Željela bih s vama podijeliti članke i postove s drugih blogova koji govore o igri i kreativnosti u Montessori grupama. Ljudi često smatraju da u Montessori grupama uopće ne postoji kreativnost i igra, međutim to je zabluda. Ako ste zainteresirani, pročitajte članke koje sam navela. Sigurna sam da će vam biti zanimljivi.

I'd like to share with you articles and posts from other blogs that talk about the play and creativity in Montessori classrooms. People often believe that in the Montessori classroom doesn't exist creativity or play, but it is a misconception. If you are interested, read these articles - I'm sure it will be interesting. 

Marcy Hogan (life is good) je napisala zanimljiv članak na MariaMontessori.com - o Montessori pedagogiji i igri. U članku objašnjava (ono što i ja moram često ;-) ) da je uvriježeno mišljenje kako u Montessori vrtićima nema dovoljno prilika za kreativno izražavanje i igru zabluda. Stvar je u tome da se u Montessori grupama djeca zaista ne igraju na onaj način kako su to ljudi u pravilu navikli vidjeti. Ako vas zanima pročitajte članak Montessori and play.

Marcy Hogan (life is good) has written an interesting article on MariaMontessori.com - about Montessori and play. The article explains (that's what I often have to ;-) ) that the conventional wisdom, that in the Montessori kindergartens children don't have enough opportunities for creative expression and play, is one big  mistake. The point is that in Montessori classrooms children really don't play in the way that people are generally accustomed to see. If you are interested, read the article Montessori and play.

Zanimljiv članak na ovu temu je napisao dr. David Elkind za Montessori Teacher Training. U svom članku je razjasnio što je igra a što rad i kako su oni povezani u Montessori pedagogiji. Njegov članak: Play and Work in Montessori Education.

An interesting article on this subject was written by Dr. David Elkind for Montessori Teacher Training. In this article he made it clear what the play is and what the work is and how they are interrelated in Montessori pedagogy. His article: Play and Work in Montessori Education.

Cynthia Dyer je na svom blogu A Montessori Musing Place napisala članak pod nazivom Is there dramatic play in Montessori classrooms? koji mi je također zanimljiv.

Rješavanje sukoba među djecom / Dealing with conflict

Pilar (Montessori Matters) je napisala članak na MariaMontessori.com o tome kako riješiti konflikte među djecom. Članak je po mom mišljenju koristan i opisan način rješavanja konflikta među djecom se može primijeniti i kod kuće i u vrtiću.
Ako vas zanima, pročitajte: Conflict: Break It Up And Break It Down

Pilar (Montessori Matters) wrote an article on MariaMontessori.com on how to resolve conflicts between children. In my opinion, this article is useful and that way of resolving conflict between children can be applied both at home and kindergartens.
