Thank-you for an exciting day of learning at the Seton Montessori Fall Institute! Here are the resources and links that I talked about during our workshop. These resources will aid in your discovery of how to document learning in a meaningful way so it informs your teaching. ENJOY!

“Remember only this one thing. The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away when they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other’s memory. This is how people care for themselves.” Crow and Weasel by Barry Lopez
