I just found out that you also write about Godly Play. I look forward to reading your posts and I will add you to the directory that I have put together of resources on the web.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625950990926813867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029955594375134.post-18410054061891692242011-07-26T17:40:20.552+02:002011-07-26T17:40:20.552+02:00I love the fairy houses :).

We have a set of plastic base ten blocks that we got for free, but I have to say that your wooden ones look so pretty. Oh well :). I am hoping one of these days to try Karen's courses.

In a homeschool, the materials do tend to get used in a number of ways. It was always fine with me, too, as long as they were used respectfully.

I'm a huge fan of Maria Montessori and her work. I wish I was taught this gentle way to do math. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful links. It's also great to read the German. I studied German in college and lived in Austria for four years. Love your site and I'll be back to visit. Be well.Jump into A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727763695073019652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029955594375134.post-65459721952270418662011-07-26T02:07:24.134+02:002011-07-26T02:07:24.134+02:00Oh yes, our rods at home turn into race tracks or ...Oh yes, our rods at home turn into race tracks or fairy houses.
