Dr. Montessori had hidden intentions when creating

Dr. Montessori had hidden intentions when creating many parts of the curriculum, especially in the practical life department.
.
.
🔹️Children love working on concrete skills; they savor the opportunity to complete a ‘real’ job independently.
.
.
🔹️Polishing activities also reinforce the importance of showing respect for your things; not just throwing something out when it gets a little old (perhaps an increasingly important lesson in our disposable culture!).
.
.
🔹️Within the polishing work, ancillary goals include working on fine motor skills and strengthening the pincer grip, which are necessary for the many pencil tasks ahead in their schooling career.
.
.
🔹️Students are also taught to remember and follow multiple steps in the process, a prerequisite for future math work.

Today is World Religion Day. It is a reminder of the need for harmony and understanding between religions. 🌎
.
.
To honour World Religion Day we are featuring a wonderfully written book
called 'The Golden Rule' by Ilene Cooper/Gabi Swiatkowska. 📚
The golden rule is a principle found in most religions and acting upon it has often shown to be the most unifying element among people.
.

“We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.” - Maria Montessori
Dr. Maria Montessori designed powerful concepts in the curriculum aimed at fostering an understanding of commonalities of the human experience in hopes of establishing lasting world peace. 🌎
