I had 5 and 6 year olds during my student teaching who were "behind" so to speak; I had them start over with the sensorial album and focused on the games - they ate it up! Especially when there was a little trick or catch for us all to laugh about in the end. <br /><br />For mathematics materials - the core materials continue into elementary (golden beads, colored bead bars, chains/cubes/squares, fraction insets); and while there is a remediation section, again, at some point he just moves on to the next thing and he will be totally FINE.Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661319394438545484.post-55205234267689213402012-04-28T23:13:55.203-04:002012-04-28T23:13:55.203-04:00Still learning here... we started Montessori "...Still learning here... we started Montessori "late" (always parented in the 'style' but haven't formally homeschooled Montessori until my son was about 5 ish). Does that mean I'm destined to constantly catch up with him? Even now at 5.5 y.o. he resists academics (sitting down to read on his own and is still struggling with memorizing numbers - 0 thru 9 is pretty good, but is just now starting to get a handle on teens & up recognition). I'd like to continue Montessori, but I worry that if the tools I have will no longer work since he's out of the sensitive periods, I may need to seek out an alternative.zebabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09358044573805714618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661319394438545484.post-11143920015659395632012-04-20T19:54:34.156-04:002012-04-20T19:54:34.156-04:00This is so useful post!

In particular along the lines of "top questions for new Montessori parents or teachers - or those seeking information on Montessori". :)Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661319394438545484.post-21604419694468595582012-02-05T00:27:07.807-05:002012-02-05T00:27:07.807-05:00Excellent post.
