HELP!

As I am sitting here waiting for Noah to wake up from his nap, I am thinking of ways to improve my Montessori blog. I would love to turn to all of you for ideas and help on how to get more followers and/or more exposure out there in the blogging world. I am not exactly a computer genius so any suggestions would be appreciated (keep in mind you may have to comment in detail how to do your suggestion to my blog).
Please comment on how I can make my blog more enjoyable or more beautiful. Thanks in advance!

Observation

I will be honest, Observation class was not my favourite in Montessori training. However, 9 years later I find myself very content sitting either beside Noah or across the room watching his every move. Right now he is trying so hard to crawl. Today I observed him moving his knees and moving only once in a crawl. It seems his knees give out and he falls onto his stomach but without prevail, he tries again. The child has perseverance! I could just sit all day long (if the hubby didn't want to eat ) and watch Noah explore and learn!
Observing has now become my favourite thing to do :)
What is your favourite thing about Montessori?

Having fun with Montessori

It is almost time for me to go back to work at a Montessori school. At first I had mixed feelings about it. I absolutely love my job. In fact, I don't really call it work because I am loving what I do. I just do not want to leave Noah right now (or in 3 months time when the first day of school happens).
I have been thinking a lot lately about school and I am getting very excited about going back. I am looking online for different ideas for my classroom and love reading about what other teacher's are doing in their classrooms. I have come across an excellent website that I find myself looking at everyday. They have a ton of useful information and lots of fun materials to browse through. I can't wait to get out the laminater and start making new materials for my class. It is going to be a fun year for us all.
Noah and I attended my school's Family Fun day over the weekend and when the owner announced to the parents that I will be returning in September, they all cheered about my return. It was so nice to know that I am appreciated and wanted back :) One father said to me how glad and excited he was because now his son will be better behaved once I return to the classroom.
In closing, I have kept you in suspense long enough regarding the best Montessori website EVER! :) Please visit www.montessoriprintshop.com. I promise you will not be disappointed!
