According to Goodman- Christiansen, its primary focus is on allowing children to teach themselves by furthering the self-creating process of each child. R O F G N I K !

Many unusual and rare coins and currencies have been on display at recent shows. “In the past we have had $4 gold Stella coins, a very rare U.S. coin minted between 1879 and 1880,” Woodward said. Last year, according to Woodward, one of the dealers brought a “Beaver” — a $5 coin “It is like how children learn to walk and learn language,” Goodman-Chris- tiansen said. “It is exactly the same thing only we are doing it with phonics and mathemat- ics and geography. It becomes second nature and they don’t even know they are learning. It is a huge advantage when they transition into public school.” Foskett said, “Montessori is learning through freedom, which means that children are interested, which means that it sticks. When Montessori kids enter the public school system, they are way ahead both aca- demically and socially.” Wildflower currently charges a flat monthly rate of $320, with a non-refundable $25 registration fee. The school will initially take up to 20 students. There is no daily rate. “We are education based. We don’t want to do daycare,” Goodman-Christiansen said. that was minted in Oregon in 1849 by the Oregon Exchange Company. Back then it was legal for private entities to make their own coins, because of the coin shortage, especially on the west coast. Oregon Bank Notes will also be on display. “One of the dealers has an interesting collection of Oregon Bank Notes. They made nation- al bank notes into the 1930s. They were issued by the gov- ernment but in the name of a local bank. They had the bank name printed on the notes,” Woodward said. The popular event attracts between 300 and 500 people every year and Woodward said he has a waiting list of dealers who want to attend.
