Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

10/05/2023

Words of wisdom from Maria Montessori for Teacher Appreciation Week: “Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”

The Italian educator and physician created the Montessori Method, an educational approach that encourages children's learning through discovery that is now used in an estimated 20,000 schools worldwide. To learn more about her work and educational philosophy, check out the insightful biography "Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work" at https://www.amightygirl.com/maria-montessori-life-work

For several books by Maria Montessori that explore her educational philosophy, check out "The Montessori Method" (https://amzn.to/3BilWwq), "The Secret of Childhood" (https://amzn.to/3DtO9Ci), "The Absorbent Mind" (https://amzn.to/3jAXFMd), and "The Discovery of the Child" (https://amzn.to/3mLJDZW)

To introduce children to this inspiring role model, we highly recommend the Maria Montessori picture book for ages 5 to 8 at https://www.amightygirl.com/maria-montessori

Many of the toys featured A Mighty Girl's toy section were selected with a similar philosophy to Maria Montessori's in mind -- we've sought out high-quality toys that would help children to exercise their imagination while mastering basic skills and growing confident in their abilities to be self-directed learners.

If you're new to A Mighty Girl, mouse over the "Toys' button on our main menu bar to open our toy directory which is divided into six main categories: Toys/Games, Imaginative Play, Arts/Crafts, Outdoor Play, For Baby, and Kids' Gear.

LOVE MY SELF MONDAY

How do you calm yourself when you’re stressed?

Have you heard of Havening?

It’s a self-soothing, loving practice to do when you want to calm and soothe yourself.

Cross your arms across your chest with your hands resting on your shoulders. Bring your hands down simultaneously towards your elbows, resting for a moment before bringing your hands back up to your shoulders.

Do this continuously while breathing deeply, but naturally, until you can feel your body relaxing and your breathing slowing down.

This has been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing down the heart rate, and calming the nervous system.

Let me know what you notice!!

While Schulz stipulated that the strip would end with him, his iconic characters live on. His widow, Jeannie Schulz, says people still get comfort from the comic because "it talks about humanity."
