Last call for pictures
I'm sorting through the wonderful pictures you all have sent me for possible inclusion in Mommy, Teach Me! and Mommy, Teach Me to Read.
They are due in to my editor Monday. This is your last chance to send me pictures of your preschooler fulfilling any of the educational principles I've written about in my books or here at MommyLife.
As a reminder of what I'm looking for, here is the original call:
Don't forget I'm looking for pictures to include in these books - particularly pictures illustrating the concepts and exercises from Small Beginnings and Ready, Set, Read! Those of you who've read these books - or the stuff posted here under the categories Montessori, preschool, and toddlers are welcome to send me pictures. A high resolution camera helps - don't condense the pictures when you send them to me. Try for an uncluttered background and shots which show household chores, pincer grasp (working with tongs, tweezer, baster, puzzles w/knobs, lacing beads, etc) , and the expression of concentration, confidence or joy of learning on your child's face.
I also need pictures of children turning the pages carefully on a book, reading, more household chores, putting on a jacket with the method where you flip it over your head, doing any of the pouring exercises. I have lots of pictures of younger kids but few of four and five year olds.
Comments
Barbara, I would love to submit an image, as I know I have a few of those items you are looking for. Where shall I send them too?
Peace and love, Tara Marie, proud Momma to Emma Sage [5 w/T21, homeschooling with Montessori and Waldorf philosophy's as our foundation] and her sibings.

I also have a pretty good picture of my son "reading" the small book in "pat the bunny" while I read to him. He's only 1 in the picture, but I can send it and see what you think.
