 PDF VERSION of КОСМИЧЕСКОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ МОНТЕССОРИ Открытие ребенком глобального видения и космической задачи (Montessori Cosmic Education, The Child’s Discovery of a Global Vision and a Cosmic Task)

In February, 2024, we three women—from Russia, Ukraine, and California—came together to do something for Ukrainian parents and teachers. We translated and and created a free PDF version of the book often recommended as “the first book to give to parents and educators to undersstand the essence of Montessori.”

Now we have created a Russian translation of this book. Even though the Ukrainian version is available on Amazon in print version, the Russian translation is not available on Amazon in any form, only this PDF. We hope you will enjoy looking at it, and share it widely.

They are filled with many interesting personal stories and are available on Amazon worldwide. For information in your country

A Music Surprise at the Beginning of Montessori Work in Vietnam
I am in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) for 2+ weeks of school consultations and lectures. The first evening my hosts, Giang and Tu, hosted me to a fruit tasting with their two young children and Tu’s parents at their home. The visit turned into a Suzuki type concert enjoyed by all. I would like to share with you some of the special moments.

THE FRUIT

The infamous SE Asia fruit it was brought to my attention upon arrival with a sign in my hotel room “No Durians allowed on the premises!” Above are pictures of one of the most delicious—but foul-smelling—fruits in existence. For details see this Wikipedia article. CLICK: Durian Continue reading →

The Music Environment for All Ages
This blog post contains excerpts from this 44-page title from the “Brief Montessori Introductions” Series .

Watch this blog for information.

Introduction
The natural urge to sing, dance, make and listen to music wells up from the depths of each person, from birth to death.

But, what is music? What words can successfully describe it? We might as easily try to capture all the most poignant sights, sounds, and smells of childhood holiday celebrations into a single black and white collection of letters on a piece of paper. We may not know how to describe music, but we do know that we don’t want our children to miss out on it. (Page 3) Continue reading →
