As many of you know, this year I have been supporting Mrs. Wermerskirchen and Mr. Barnhart in the classroom environments by presenting Montessori lessons to the students. Distance learning has not changed that, thus I video myself giving Montessori lessons and send them to the students.
Additionally, perhaps you know, in the Montessori classroom presentations have a place of high regard and if a Guide is in a presentation with one or more students, there may NEVER be an interruption (with the exception of fire, blood, vomit or a life/death situation). Students all know this and have always respected the presentation time a Guide has with their fellow classmates.
Since distance learning, I have been videotaping presentations in a corner of my house where I can find the quietness needed as well as a way to hold a camera steady. Last night as I was videotaping, I received a text with this picture.
As a puppy Dusty spend months in a Montessori classroom where he learned the ins and outs of being a Montessori dog...it has paid off he guards the door to ensure no one interrupts the videotaping of my presentations!
My own children always joke around about things that Dusty would do. If he took an eraser (as an example...not sure why but as a puppy erasers where his favorite) they would tell Dusty that 'that was not very Montessori'! And when he did something correct they would give him a treat and tell him how Montessori he was being.
In Montessori terms: Dusty has mastered independence but is still in progress in remembering to restore his work!
A Montessori dog in the making. :)

Today, I would like to highlight students working/being together...the creativity and work of the Montessori child can be seen day in and day out. Even if the picture is of one person...there is still working together that is happening behind the lens!
