Montessori Lesson Picks of the Week for February 4, 2008

I recently revised two newsletters that were authored by me in 1998 and 1999. I was amazed as to how much of the
original lessons were still on the Internet. The authors had moved the content to other domains, but much of the information remains unchanged and can be used today, just as it was in 1998 and 1999. Below, is a sampling of what you will find by clicking on the links.
