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. 🌎
