Some Montessori Holiday News by Heidi Anne Spietz
The American Montessori Society 2009 Fall Conference was outstanding. I enjoyed attending the workshops and visiting the exhibit center.
AMS Workshops
The workshops were excellent. Visit AMS Fall Conference for a list of what was offered. See American Montessori Consulting - Facebook for comments about some of the workshops.

I spoke with Dave from Hello Wood and was really impressed with the brand new memory puzzle. Dave will transform a picture featuring your favorite pet, a child, other relative, vacation spot, etc. into a BEAUTIFUL memory puzzle. Contact Dave via e-mail at dave@hellowood.com or call (931)498-2432 for additional information.
Representatives from Conceptual Learning, Hands On Equations/, Insta-Learn , and Priority Montessori were among the many represented there.
