Montessori Teacher Reset: Book Haul, Rainbow Writing & A Real Monday

A real week in my Montessori classroom — choosing authentic books, rolling out rainbow letters, managing busy Mondays, and trying to protect work-life balance as a teacher. In this vlog, I share: • How I choose books for the classroom (and why we avoid cartoon-style characters) • A simple rainbow letter & number writing activity • Bringing back cutting work & the Montessori ellipse • Honest reflections about tech-wired Mondays • A little teacher life reset (concert plans, reading, coffee, bowling night) • The book that’s reminding me why storytelling matters Teaching 19 children while training a new assistant and working four-day weeks has stretched me — but I’m learning to focus on the lives right in front of me. If you're a Montessori teacher, preschool educator, or just someone trying to balance meaningful work with real life — you’re not alone. ⏱ Timestamps 0:00 Choosing Books for a Montessori Classroom 2:05 Why I Avoid Cartoon Character Books 3:30 February Focus: Living/Non-Living & Animals in Their Homes 4:40 Multicultural Book Picks I'm Excited About 6:00 Monday Morning Reset + Concert Plans 8:15 Giving Children More Freedom (Without Chaos) 10:30 Rainbow Letters & Rainbow Numbers Activity 13:15 Adding Cutting Work & Reintroducing the Ellipse 15:40 Why I’m Committing to Four-Day Weeks 18:00 Making the Rainbow Writing Boxes (Step-by-Step Setup) 20:45 Honest Monday Reflection: Technology & Restless Children 23:30 The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake — Why Fiction Matters Again 26:30 Snowflakes + Self-Portraits (Alma Thomas Inspiration) 29:00 A Better Day: Three-Period Lessons & Story Time 31:40 Teacher Lunch Reality + Taco Bell Break 33:00 Coffee, Bowling League & Learning New Skills 35:00 Turning 58 & Rethinking Impact as a Teacher
