We need balls and ramps! Montessori work is go-at-your-own pace individualized learning. The children choose "work" from the shelf to meet their individual learning goals. There are traditional Montessori materials that meet traditional goals. Enter...the Common Core. Unfortunately, most of the adaptation of the Common Core to fit the Montessori method is the complete responsibility of the teacher.

The new "Forces and Interactions" goals for both Prek and K provide a particular challenge, so we need balls and ramps!
