As promised in my post "May Calendar," here are our reflections and lessons for last month. We did pretty good accomplishing the goals I set for us, with some slight changes here and there. So, have a little looksie.
This is the first time I've used Box.com to share files. So, I have included a picture and a link and if it doesn't work for some reason, please let me know.
I'm fairly satisfied with meeting most of our goals mainly because I feel I have developed a good sense for what the girls are capable of even when we don't really feel like doing anything for days at a time. I never wanted to put unrealistic expectations on them as a instructor or mommy, but I do know they are capable of great things if I allow them and guide them to it.
I am also happy that maybe we have developed a balance of fun and play and learning and lesson. One of my greatest struggles, maybe developed from the life altering program I went through 4 years ago, I have a hard time seeing the big picture. The month, year or life as a whole. The girls' behavior and personalities over their actions. The struggles of going through "one day at a time," instead of seeing that there really are more days to do whatever it is I feel like we need to do. That this isn't my last day. When I see what we have accomplished at the end of each month and how fast they are learning and growing it really helps me adjust my perspective and really makes me quite proud of my montessori girls.
