I came upon your channel while working on a school project, knowing I want to put my child in a Montessori school and practice it at home, but needing to do research for school specifically and I'm in love with your videos! Helpful not only for my school work, but to know how to do and what to do as my child gets bigger!

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thanks for watching

[@momida1559]

I see how the order of the shelf - left to right, high to low - fits to the writing process, I also was trained that way. But the youngest children struggle to reach the upper shelf when there are 4 - board shelves used. On the other hand, the older children have to grab real low for the advanced activities. On 3 boards we as teachers struggle to fit in all different activities 😅 Is that only my observation?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

I think you can make sure that the shelves are not too high. These are a good height for even a 2 year old.

[@shelbyligason2196]

I know some of the shelves I've had to work with were also too high for my youngest and smallest students. So the second shelf acts as the first and then we work our way down. The advanced materials, that the little ones shouldn't be getting out just yet, were put on the top of the shelf just out of their reach.

[@HigherPlanes]

Greetings from Florida. May I ask where you purchase your shelves?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

We custom order them locally in Indonesia

[@HigherPlanes]

@@SunshineTeachersTraining Thank you. They're very nice shelves. I'm looking for something like that for my home setup.

[@gonikabhatia1988]

I am a mother of 16 months old baby. N i try montessori exercise at home. Have a low shelf with scooping activity as i saw that he was quite interested in scooping. My question is, what to do if after a few time of scooping, my child start pouring things out in the tray or on mat?. Also, how to present wet pouring to the child. N how to make sure that they dont pour out intentionally n make mess. Or what to say to the child if they do so. I know i asked alot of questions in one comment. My main point is what to say to the child who is not doing the activity as intended?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Hi Gonika :) Its ok for your child to pour the materials out but at the end its important to make sure they tidy before returning the materials back to the shelf. I would say your child is too young for wet pouring... better to wait till they are 3.5 years
