THROUGH THE BROWN EYES OF A CANADIAN-KOREAN WOMAN
The past few weeks have been very difficult for all of us. We have been going through lots of growing pains and by doing so, I think we’ve all grown up more and have opened our minds + hearts. When your child turns 10, they start to really start using their brains. This is when they really start to figure things out. They know exactly how they feel about something
My favorite site for Montessori and Homeschooling materials is teacherspayteachers.com It’s a great place to get anything in the grade, age or subject you and your children need!
Josh has been doing online classes ever since the first week of school. Basically grade 2 started with online EBS classes and going to school once a week. Josh has been doing it since March. Andrea and Tyler both started their Montessori at home when the Government of Korea announced Social Distancing 2.5 in August. It hasn’t been easy from the beginning. So many ZOOM classes and so many things
Starting last week, Andrea started her Montessori At Home from BCMA. BCMA came up with a brilliant idea (and I chose the word brilliant for a reason and I’ll tell you later why) to “extend” the Montessori approach and literally bring it to the home base.

It all goes back to tests and exams that evaluate your level of education or “how much you have understood” by what percentage you get. Even your IQ is measured through tests and evaluations that end with specific numbers on your
How do you teach your children the right things, in the right way? How? How do you get them to understand what you know from life and the order of things? How do you put all the things in life into words so that they may understand it? How? What logic can you put life experiences into? How do you lay it all out so that it’s understandable at the
Knowing something ahead and knowing something isn’t going to be there anymore is a feeling and thought you really don’t wanna have in your mind. I know I’m not going to get this moment back again. I know this little monster is going to grow up really fast and this phase of being a little toddler isn’t going to come back. I also know that I’m going to miss this
It’s not easy being a parent to three [totally different] kids. It’s not easy being a parent. Period. Whether you have one or three or five or ten, just being a parent to any living animal is not easy. Even having a dog is hard. I always wanted to be a good mom.
