Are there any good resources or suggestions out there for starting a practical life area of the classroom in a public K class? I am awaiting word on a grant to outfit my room with all other Montessori curriculum area materials, but whether I get the grant or not, I see the need for practical life work in my incoming kindergarten kids, as well as I did in my previous year's students.

While my students may be 5, they are in all different places with motor skills, and *certainly* need the concentration, coordination, independence and self-esteem that practical life work fosters.

Where do I begin?
