Outdoor environments have been on my mind and you really have my wheels turning now. <br /><br />I look forward to hearing how things work out as you move toward complete free flow. That's something I always longed to provide as a teacher, but without an administration dedicated to making it happen, licensing rules have always managed to stand in my way. I think it's a shame that Montessori schools look at it as a bonus rather than an essential part of all environments that must be planned for.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698231692999838673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430891427414273196.post-38369455006065723072012-04-08T00:01:12.700-04:002012-04-08T00:01:12.700-04:00Hi!

I have been considering my outdoor space for my children (ages 4, 2, and 3 mo) and your post had a great list of things to consider. I, too, live in the desert in New Mexico. My girls have a sand and water table in which they enjoy mixing the two elements. They also like to experiment with just water. Because we live in the desert, I have a set amount of water they are allowed to play with each day. Though I would prefer for them to have unlimited access to this resource, I believe it is best to teach them to conserve a resource that is not readily available in our climate. I don't know how Montessori this is and would love to hear how others handle this dilemma.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004753371192872175noreply@blogger.com
