Looking for a little inspiration? This series of “micro-refreshers” for 3-6 Montessori teachers will focus on one key material each session. We’ll explore the theory and practice, answer questions, and help you fall in love again. I love these materials, and you can too!
Reading Analysis
Not for children who are already fluent readers, but one of the fun and engaging ways they LEARN to read! .
Small Bead Frame
Tuesday, April 15, 2025
Really, this is super fun! A few tweaks to your technique, and this really does become a “passage to abstraction.” Bring your Bead Frame and we’ll explore it together.
Attendees from Oregon can earn hours for ORO (Set I). Attendees from Washington can earn STARS credit.

Remind me why exactly these are in the Casa?? Get ready to have your mind blown!
