We’ve had a blast with our spring Montessori trays! And thanks to a fun discussion at the 4Real boards, I’ve been brainstorming some ideas for more garden-themed nature trays for the littles. We will certainly be giving these a try in the next few weeks! And as soon as I do, I will put up [...]

We are having so much fun with our botany and gardening! The littles like it so much I decided to put together a few trays for them to continue the work on their own. I can’t wait to introduce them tomorrow! The first tray is for painting clay pots: There are clay pots, some tubes [...]

I’ve decided that I needed a separate blog for the garden, rather than just a page off of this blog. For two reasons. First, I would like to keep this blog more school-related. Second, through the comments on the new blog, I can hopefully get some help from others who are wiser than I when [...]

Spring has sprung here at Lapaz Farm and so I’ve added a link to a new page on my sidebar. Called Lapaz Farm Garden Journal, it is simply a record of what we are doing in our garden this year. Though for now it is just a record of plantings, etc, I hope to add [...]
