New Apron Color: Sage!
We are very excited to introduce our new sage apron! We make these from eco-friendly laminated cotton so you can wipe off spills and hang to dry. This fabric is ideal when you need some water-resistance for activities in the garden, working with plants or leaves, or even cutting pickles!
Video of Michigan Montessori Conference 2021 is live!
We've just uploaded the recording from the virtual Michigan Montessori Society Conference that happened November 6, 2021. Julia Volkman, Maitri Learning's founder, led a delightfully interactive conversation with about 80 Montessorians on a Saturday morning.
They took a big picture look at the role of the following key ideas in learning:
- Plasticity
- Brain networks
- Dynamic skill development
- Executive functions
- Attention
- Mindfulness
- Stress
- Emotion
- Memory
- Metacognition
Thanks to MMS for pulling this together. We were so happy to sponsor this wonderful event.
