How to Teach Montessori at Home

Basic Montessori techniques for toddlers and preschoolers are aimed at giving children some independence, teaching practical life skills and allowing them to learn through their senses. It is fairly easy to set up a Montessori environment in the home and to use Montessori techniques with your child. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

1

Set up toy and play areas with shelves that are accessible to children. Have containers for each toy. Label them with photographs or pictures. Display books so that the front of the book is visible.

2

Create spaces in the kitchen where the child can work. Low shelves in a cabinet and the refrigerator can hold their cups, utensils, cereal and snacks. An open dishwater door creates a counter for them to work on. Allow them to prepare their own snacks and help with meal preparation, including pouring, measuring and stirring.

3

Teach the child some basic chores. Small children can sort dirty clothes, fold washed laundry and put their clothes away. They can help to polish silver, wipe tables and clean the bathroom. They should be responsible for cleaning their play areas and toys.

4

Give children limited choices throughout the day. For example, allow them to choose between two shirts, two choices for lunch and two books to read. The choices can expand as they get older.

5

Show the child how to spoon and pour small items like rice or beans from one dish to another, focusing on not spilling any.

6

Gather items to explore through the senses. Have the child to sort material and sandpaper based on how it feels. Put one spice into a pair of jars. Create four different pairs and have her identify the pairs that belong together through smelling them. Throughout the day, encourage the child to explore her environment through her senses.

7

Purchase Montessori toys, or create some on your own. Glue sandpaper to cut out letters and shapes and have the child trace the outline. Create games that involve sorting, pouring and stacking.

9

Take turns going around the hopscotch grid hopping on one foot, resting on the squares with your initials in them with both feet and jumping over squares with other people's initials on them. With each turn, choose an additional square to write your initials on.

How to Organize a Prom Dress Swap

Many prom dresses get worn once and then hung in a closet or resold on eBay or consignment. A prom dress swap allows girls to exchange prom dresses, jewelry, shoes and accessories with other girls. Each girl gets new prom attire for approximately the same value without having to spend the money for another store bought dress. Occasionally you can buy cheap prom dresses at a swap.

Instructions

1

Schedule a day and time for the swap. The ideal time for a prom dress swap is right after prom or right before the following year's prom. This way, girls are excited about prom and are interested in exchanging dresses. If you plan to sell dresses cheaply, you should wait until prom is coming up.

2

Advertise the event. You can put flyers up at schools, post a listing on Craigslist or call your friends who attended prom. The more girls who attend, the more dresses to choose from. Be sure you have a contact person whose information is provided on advertisements. If you are charging a cover charge, put the amount on the advertisements.

3

Set up rules. To be fair, people who attend the event need to bring prom attire to swap or plan on buying a dress at a cheap price. Some people prefer to set criteria that the attendees must have attended prom at a specific school in order to take part in the swap. If the attendees want to sell their dresses rather than swap, you can combine the dress swap with a dress sale.

4

Rent a facility. If you belong to a church or a social organization, you may save money by using their facility. You need to make sure you have enough room for the estimated turn out. Consider if you want a runway to showcase dresses. You may need to charge admission to cover your expenses.

5

Organize the area with tables and racks. Hang dresses in the same size together. Use tables to sort jewelry, accessories and shoes. The shoes should also be sorted by size. Plan on having full length mirrors and changing rooms available for the girls.

6

Plan events to coincide with the dress swap. This is a good opportunity to cover health and safety issues for prom. The girls can participate in a runway show to present their dresses. Local beauty salons or colleges may volunteer to do hair and makeup for the show.

7

Add activities. DJs can play background music. You can raffle prizes like hair and make-up sessions or alterations from local companies. Refreshments are standard at some dress swaps. Local alteration companies may want to set up a booth to advertise their services.
