January link pack: all the links you have to read, curated by Simone Davies

Hope you are all having a fun start to the year. What are your favourite things to do in January? I’m going to live vicariously through you all as I still have a couple more weeks of study left with the altMBA program. I’m taking the chance to really dive deep and get as much out of it as I can. But I forgot what it’s like to have no spare time any more. Will be worth it!

Can I share my excitement? We have a new class pet – a dwarf hamster. Isn’t her little white nose just adorable? As it’s a little girl people are speculating we’ll be calling her Jill (our first class hamster was called Jack). I’ll let you know what we decide.

Now it’s time for one of my favourite things: a round up of all the best Montessori inspired links to help you Montessori your life. Grab a cup of tea, be inspired and take action. Sounds fun right?

10. 15 classrooms around the world featured in the Washington Post, some even without walls – but I wonder why they are all sitting in rows in every single photo?

Simone
