He's been a voracious reader since he was 6, and often I pick up books at the library to preview or read and don't get to them, and sometimes he does without me knowing it! I guess that's part of a little "strewing" around here. Yes, I look at AO all the time for book suggestions, but our primary source of books/curriculum is Mater Amabilis, a Charlotte Mason-style curriculum designed for Catholics. We use many of the same resources, though more of our books are in print. Glad to have found your blog and discussions. :) Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576250498849625401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552230976098773741.post-88921124784936684342013-10-05T23:01:32.690-05:002013-10-05T23:01:32.690-05:00She actually wrote a book called A Montessori Moth...She actually wrote a book called A Montessori Mother in 1912. http://books.google.com/books?id=WxM39NkZPBIC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false I haven't read it but I have seen it at our local university library - that's why her name was familiar to me.

Even if you don't follow all of Ambleside I always send friends there for the booklist. Enjoy reading!

You inspired me to both put the ONE copy our massive library has on hold, as well as pull up the text on archive (http://archive.org/details/understoodbetsy00fish ) where it reads like a book, which is fun. I started reading it aloud to my 2nd grade daughter Tuesday and the rest listened in - I'm adding it to my morning time rotation for the term! And get this - I had checked it out once before but never got to reading it, but my 4th grader remembered it and reminded me that I had checked it out sometime last year, and that he had read it and gave me a recap and said he really liked it. Anyhow, thanks for the little tap on the shoulder to read this so far lovely book!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576250498849625401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552230976098773741.post-3112489152594212652013-10-03T19:57:28.827-05:002013-10-03T19:57:28.827-05:00This was a favorite when we did Year 2.This was a favorite when we did Year 2.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397141781902277266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552230976098773741.post-91676510154203106182013-10-03T09:30:21.935-05:002013-10-03T09:30:21.935-05:00Good memories for me!!
