Maximum Effort Montessori at Minimum Temps

We are in the thick of it this winter, especially with some of the terribly cold weeks recently. While the days are getting longer, they’re still frigid, and we still have many kids with high energy levels. We’re drawing on some great resources out there including this winter focused idea list of energy expending, skill teaching ideas. Take a look! So far we and our parent community are loving:

• Indoor: Carrying or folding blankets, towels and other heavy items.

• Indoor: Putting away shoes!

• Indoor: Loading laundry!

• Indoor: Filling bathtub

• Indoor: Unpacking groceries

• Outdoor: Spreading salt onto icy sidewalks (heavy handed toddlers are a plus here!)

• Outdoor: Climbing up hills or snowbanks

• Outdoor: Pulling a sled or other small vehicle
