MONTESSORI MONDAY...

An introduction to the classroom...
As I pondered over what should be the topic for this weeks Montesori Monday, I marveled over the genius behind the Montessori materials. I decided to give a brief overview of the Montessori classroom, and then discuss each area in more detail in the following weeks.

There are four main areas of a classroom and other smaller areas.
The four main areas are: practical life, sensorial, language and math
The other areas are: cultural, science, geography, and peace (there is also a library area)
These areas of the classroom each serve specific purposes, and they all connect and support each other.

Here is a brief introduction from the American Montessori Society... I'll post more on each specific area later... enjoy!
