“Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.” – Maria Montessori
This week, we began working on learning how to put on our own shoes.
Learning with our heads and our hands
“The child gives us a beautiful lesson – that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands.” -Maria Montessori
Part of a Greater Community
“There is a great sense of community within the Montessori classroom, where children of differing ages work together in an atmosphere of cooperation rather than competitiveness. There is respect for the environment and for the individuals within it, which comes through experience of freedom within the community.” – Maria Montessori
We enjoyed having some slightly cooler days this week, which let us spend a little more time outside.
Work Time!
“What the hand does, the mind remembers.” -Maria Montessori
The students have really started settling into their work time routines. We have been practicing working on a mat, as well as putting away each job before moving on to the next one.
We have fun while learning
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.” Marie Montessori
We celebrated Marie Montessori birthday this week with cupcakes
Exploring and Learning
“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world” Maria Montessori
Week in Action
It is the second week of school and our toddlers are getting a hang of their new friends and environment.
They are exploring everything around them, enjoying the playground and eating together!
Monday is library time and Ms. Jessica comes down and reads to the toddlers.
