With some schools not going back in person, many people have reached out to ask about homeschooling resources, particularly homeschool curriculums. And to be honest I’m reluctant to give too many suggestions. For me, if I was homeschooling my children in a Montessori way, it would be more focused on discovery, following my child’s interests, including them in daily life, growing vegetables, exploring in nature, walking around the block, helping in the community, and getting to museums and galleries (as much as COVID allows).
Here are some of my suggestions:
- Trillium Montessori 3-6 Homeschooling
- Trillium Montessori 6-12 Homeschooling
- For toddlers, can I self-promote and suggest all you need is The Montessori Toddler book?
- Susan Stephenson (one of the most experienced Montessori teachers) has just released a new book Montessori Homeschooling: One Family’s Story
- Eloise Rickman’s Extraordinary Parenting has some wonderful guidance on how she homeschools her daughter Frida by going slow and creating a beautiful childhood for her
- And keep an eye on @ibelieveinmontessori and @welcometomommyhood who are hosting a Homeschooling Summit
- Otherwise my go to resources for homeschooling are:
- Child of the Redwoods
- Mainly Montessori – 6-12 year olds
