Back from
Miami

I
just got back from Miami, Florida. I was
there with my son, Mark, to give a
presentation to educators and parents of South Florida. The conference was hosted by Barry University
and organized by the Andrew Dora McGhee Montessori Foundation. We also launched Phase I of our reading program featuring seven colorful posters with
an instructional video.
The weekend was a reunion with former students and
friends, a reconnection with Barry University faculty and staff and a spiritual
rejuvenation. I was honored for bringing Montessori to Barry during the
assembly. More than 500 attended.
My presentation briefly described how our reading program
works featuring video clips of children involved in the process. Several students were so surprised to see
Melanie on video teaching small children one-on-one. They saw her as a ten year old sitting in my
Humanities class. They also admired the
alphabet chart she drew.
Selling was brisk.
Several people crowded our two tables.
We could have used two more personnel each with his/her own
"square" device attached to an iphone. We were lucky for Sarah to come and manage
our tables while Mark and I were at my presentation.
The posters standing on easels were so attractive. People asked who drew the illustrations. If you missed the event and would like to
