One of my Montessori mentors when I first started out was Meg from Montessori By Hand (now of Sew Liberated). At the time she was living and teaching in a rural school in Mexico and she shared her life and all the beautiful things that she made for the school. A couple of years ago she moved back to the US and a new teacher took over the position and now the school is in the position where they need a new teacher.
If you are interested in the moving to Mexico and taking up the role, please go and read the details on Meg's blog here

Call for submissions
Firstly, I just want to explain that at the moment Monday is my Goldmine day so I go through my reader and pick out what to use and write up the post. I am trying to stay ahead so some of the posts are scheduled for up to two weeks ahead. If I have left you a message say that I will be linking, I will, it might just take a few days for the post to appear!
I also want to do round ups targeting specific areas of the Montessori curriculum so every so often I will ask for submissions for specific topics, if you have something in your archives that you think is suitable please let me know.
The post MUST include at least one clear photograph and by sending a submission you are giving me permission to use the post and crop the photo to fit the format that I use. The image will be linked back to your post, the final post will look something like this.
This months topics...
- red rods (especially any extensions)
- infant (many people who are new to Montessori get interested when they have a baby, there is loads of info out there for the 3-6 range but not so much for 0-3, so any good posts about this would be great!)
- Continent work on Australia (I will do the rest one by one)
- Caterpillars and Butterflies
- Grace and courtesy
- the grammar farm
- the bankers game
- make - any handmade Montessori materials especially if it includes a tutorial.
How to subscribe....
- Send an email to the.montessori.goldmine@gmail.com
- In the title line write SUBMISSION + the topic
- In the body of the email send a link to the specific post
It should look something like this...
Please do not send links to items that you sell, if you want to promote your goods I am happy to do that, pop over HERE to see how to go about it.

Meet The Sponsors
And because I like making things there are also a number of items such as softies, purses and bags available. I don't like production line type of sewing so you can be sure that what you buy is a one of a kind.
And finally, I have a number of Montessori 3 part cards in PDF format, I am working on a new website for them but for now they are available here.

Introducing the sponsors - Polliwog
A BIG thank you!
I just wanted to thank everyone who has dropped by and for all the great emails and messages that I have had over the last few days plus a special thank you to everyone who has blogged or passed on the word via FB/twitter etc, it really means a lot to me!
I haven't managed to reply to everyone yet, I have read all your messages and your kind words have touched me, gmail isn't letting me into my account just now, so it might take a while longer!
Regarding submissions, I have a lot of Montessori based blogs in my reader and I am trying to keep the posts varied, some I have bookmarked for a round up like the baby rooms or sensory tubs. I haven't put up a blog roll instead it is a contributors list, as the contributors grow, so will the list. I have a number of French and Spanish language blogs in my reader and a handful of other languages but I would like to add more, so if have your own blog or know of one/some in languages other than English please let me know, of course, new to me English blogs are welcome too!
Once I have got into the swing of things I will put a call out for submissions on a certain topic/area, I am sure a lot of people have got great posts in their archives that are worth sharing.
Finally, if you do visit any of the blogs featured here and you like what you see, then please leave them a comment, it is lovely getting comments out of the blue, you will make somebody's day, I know you will :o)
PS. there is still time to enter the culture box items giveaway, the crafty goods giveaway and the bento goodies giveaway!
