Enter to Win: Montessori Documentary, Edison's Day
Friends,
I am so happy to be able to offer a free copy of Edison's Day. It is my absolute favorite Montessori documentary. I have gushed about it many times. It's a 30-minute glimpse into the life of a Montessori family. Edison is 20 months-old in the documentary, and you follow him through the day. There are beautiful scenes of him pouring water for a friend during lunch, helping his dad wash the family car, and helping his mom make dinner. I was (and continue to be) blown away by what a 20 month-old can do when the environment is set up in a way that supports his or her needs. It is so easy to underestimate what children are capable of. This film is beautiful and inspiring. I have watched it countless times and gain new ideas every single time.
The mother in the film, Sarah Moudry, is a knowledgeable and amazing Montessorian. You could not believe my surprise when I found a Montessori "Mommy and Me" class in Houston and she was the instructor. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity! I enrolled Henry when he was just five weeks old and stayed late after every class to pepper her with questions. I now regularly read her blog.
I am thrilled to be able to host a contest to give away a free copy of Edison's Day (valued at $45).
To enter the contest:
- Please leave a comment with your first name and first two letters of your last name.
- Enter by Friday, September 26, 2014 by 11:59pm CST.
- Only one entry per person, please (but feel free to have family members enter on your behalf!).
The winner will be announced the following Monday. I will wait to hear from the winner for one week. If I do not hear from him or her by then, I will draw another winner.
Happy Entering!

Sara, I cannot BELIEVE that I have not seen this video. I've attempted to get it so many times- my daughter's classroom has a copy, but someone checked it out and never returned it, and now no one can seem to locate it! I've probably asked them a million times if they have located it! :) Crossing my fingers!

It would be amazing to win this
I would love to win this! My little guy is just mobile in the last few weeks and I would be so happy to have solid ideas for how to set things up to encourage his independence and development. Thanks for the giveaway! Aurora Ma

I would love to win! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Oh, I'd love to see this! My son is almost 15 months old, and we're at a tough age: He's eager to be independent and do things himself, and I'm still learning how to facilitate that as best I can. I think this would be a big help!

This would be fantastic. I'm a teacher in the public system but am currently studying educational philosophies such as Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio,

This sounds like a wonderful resource as I learn about Montessori practices with my infant son.

Would love to watch this with my husband as we are hoping to have a baby next year and introduce him to Montessori :)
Thanks for this, Sara! I'd also love to watch Edison's Day, as our daughter is just beginning to crawl (backwards scooting at this point!), and we're thinking more and more about how to encourage independence.

Every time you mention this documentary I think, "I need to watch that!" Hopefully this giveaway helps me accomplish what I haven't been able to do on my own :-)

I am so excited about the possibility of getting Edison's Day! I have wanted it for years but the price tag is a little steep for my budget and I couldn't seem to locate anyone in Denver with a copy I could borrow. My fingers are crossed and so are my toes! ;)

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity Sara! Would love to add this as resource to the parents at my school and to my friends! Oh, and to re-watch myself as I haven't seen it since my training years ago.

My little girl is due in one month. I would love to have a copy!

I'd love to see a 20-month-old in a Montessori environment. Our 16-month-olds are exploding with new words, thoughts, and curious activities in our sorta-Montessori-ish home.
Rachel El
So exciting!
I would love to win this! I'm fascinated by Montessori principles and now trying to soak up everything I can to teach my son! Thanks for the giveaway! Julie Ze

Sonja De. This would be great to watch and learn how my toddler can help and learn new independent skills.

I saw this many years ago as a single teenager interested in studying to be a Montessori teacher. As life would have it that did not come to pass instead I have been blessed to be a wife and mother to 2 precious kids under three. They love when I prepare the environment for them so that they can best learn. I'd love to be inspired again by this documentary. Thanks Sarah.

I love this video! Saw it once when I was taking the primary training, but would love to own a copy! :)

Thanks yet AGAIN for another amazing opportunity, Sara. Everything you share is with us is so valuable. When anyone asked how/where I learned about Montessori, I say most of what I know came from your awesome blog, or links you've provided. I would LOVE to own Edison's Day. Peace.

Holy cow, I would LOVE to win this. I've tried several ways to find it without spending $45, but struck out every time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Thank you, Sara!

This is an amazing giveaway! My daughter is 14 months old, and as a teacher turned stay-at-home (or park/library/grocery/you name it!) I could glean so much from Edison and his family! Thanks for sharing!

Would love to watch this video!
I've heard you talk about this documentary so many times. I'd love to watch (and then share).
