Why a Blog?

There are so many roles and tasks we have to juggle every day as teachers... when what we really want to do is get on with the business of working with kids!

I recently began formally putting together a number of systems I have developed over the years to help me streamline all those classroom administrative tasks. You can see some of my favorites at my store. I am hoping to use this blog to hash out the details of the rest of my ideas and make them "look pretty" so that others can use them too.

I would also love to get feedback from other Montessori teachers about things that have worked for them and things that they're having trouble managing and would like help with.


About Me
I am a trained AMS Early Childhood Montessori teacher. I have been teaching at the primary level for ten years. This year I am working full-time as the primary level coordinator at our school... hence the focused interest in creating a prepared environment for teachers! (More on that in a future post). I also have a Bachelor's degree in Neurobiology and Behavior and a Master's degree in Education.

I have had the privilege of working with Jon Wolff a few times when he has consulted for schools around the country. Come and check us out at the Learning for Life table at the AMS Conference in Washington DC March 6-9!

Not sure how to email you so I am responding here, hoping you've subscribed to follow-up comments. You can email me at preparedenvironment@gmail.com

My name is Anna, and for the past four years, I lived in fear of oral and genital herpes outbreaks. Despite dedicating all my savings to various medications, I was constantly anxious about the possibility of the next flare-up. After experiencing countless disappointments, I stumbled upon Dr. Utu's herbal cure online, and on a whim, I reached out to him at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
To my relief, Dr. Utu responded quickly, providing reassurance and encouragement that I desperately needed. He took the time to understand my situation and prepared a personalized herbal remedy tailored to my specific needs. I followed his instructions diligently, staying committed to the treatment plan.
After finishing the course of the herbal remedy, I was filled with hope and apprehension, so I underwent a medical test to see if the treatment had been effective. To my astonishment, the results confirmed that I was herpes-free! To ensure the accuracy of the results, I got tested again at a different facility, and that test also yielded a negative result.
Today, I’m thriving and free from the pain of outbreaks and the constant fear of transmission. My quality of life has improved dramatically, and I feel liberated from the stigma that once surrounded me. If you're struggling with herpes, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. He is reliable, trustworthy, and his remedies truly work. My experience has given me hope, and I believe it can do the same for you!

I understand the frustration of living with herpes. Since 2015, I felt trapped in an endless cycle of antiviral medications that only suppressed the virus, offering no real cure. My turning point came when I read a blog testimonial about Dr. Utu's Herbal Cure claiming to have successfully treated genital herpes. Inspired, I contacted Dr. Utu and followed his natural treatment plan. To my amazement, it's been over a year since I became herpes-free! I am deeply grateful to God and this skilled African herbalist for my healing. If you're seeking a natural cure for herpes or other sexually transmitted diseases, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Dr. Utu via drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. Mention Benjy referred you, and don’t lose hope! Dr. Utu’s remedies can transform lives. πŸŒΏπŸ’–
