Books I used in my curriculum development

I've been working on taking all my notes, pins, lesson folders and post its and putting them into a printable version of my curriculum for my readers. My journey started with a few pins on adapting ideas and concepts the older kids were learning in school. Then it turned into full fledged ideas to teach the concepts. When my husband and I decided we were going to move forward with home-schooling the younger girls, I set out to learn everything I could about the methods used across the globe. I settled into a comfortable relationship with the Reggio and Montesori methods. After much thought we integrated these with traditional ways and a focus on STEM.

There are a few books I used in my planning, and I wanted to share them with you. I purchased them [I like to highlight my books:: color inspires me], however for a more economical solution you could order them for your library and take notes as you go along. Sometimes I'll use the genius scan app on my phone to take a picture of a page in a book, then print it and highlight for reference.

Bringing Reggio Emilia Home





I'm a huge fan of home libraries, so I typically try and buy my books if I know I'll reference them again, these books are already well loved.
