Lorna McGrath spoke with Cheryl Allen, an Elementary Guide and Montessori teacher educator. Even Montessori parents and guides sometimes become anxious in this time of so much emphasis on “achievement” about making sure that our children are keeping up during school breaks. Cheryl has some really great ideas for activities for keeping young minds active and challenged in fun ways when “school’s out.” You won’t want to miss this session.
