Bøker av Tami Phelps

This heartwarming book maps the humor and curiosity of kids as they learn the meaning of words and the logic that underpins their experiences. In these vignettes for grown-ups, Tami Phelps, a Montessori teacher for 20 years, describes encounters with her students as they process the world around them. In their innocence, young children are at once na├»ve and brilliantly perceptive. They often miss the mark, which is precisely what makes these stories so hilarious. And it''s not often students stay in touch with their kindergarten teachers, but the author''s former student illustrated the book to boot! These stories will make you smile, and remember how the best teachers can make a lasting mark on the rest of your life.-Monica Devine, author of Water MaskOur daughter was a Montessori kid through and through. Her journey began with Miss Tami and she loved it. When asked on the last day of her kindergarten year what she wished for, her answer: "another 100 days of school." Montessori teachers are different and Ms. Tami is one of the best.-Peter and Cindy Ljubicich, colleague and parentsDear Miss Tami,Thank you for teaching me to think and read.
