Baking Bread in the Montessori Environment is Cross-Curricular and Delicious!

Image
Baking bread is a well-loved activity in the Montessori environment that provides children with an enjoyable hands-on experience along with some valuable learning opportunities. When children bake bread together, they practice math skills, such as measuring and estimating, and develop practical life skills such as mixing, kneading, and following a recipe. In addition, the teacher can use the activity as an opportunity to introduce topics related to cosmic education and cultural geography. Baking bread is a powerful tool that can help children learn about the world around them while also developing practical skills. Cosmic Education and Bread Cosmic education is the Montessori idea that everything is connected and has a purpose in the universe. Bread is an excellent example of this concept in action. When we make bread, we use ingredients that come from the earth – grains, water, yeast, etc. – and transform them into something new. This process not only teaches children about the inte

Belonging and Agency in the Montessori Environment

Image
As Montessori educators, it is our goal to create an environment where children feel a sense of belonging and agency.  Belonging is a sense of connection and acceptance within a community. It is the feeling of being welcomed, valued, and supported by others. When children feel a sense of belonging, they are more likely to feel safe, secure, and confident in their environment.  Agency , on the other hand, is the sense of control and autonomy that individuals have over their lives. It is the ability to make choices, take action, and influence one's own destiny. When children have agency, they are empowered to pursue their goals, take risks, and overcome challenges.  Belonging and agency are both crucial for children's development and growth, and it is our responsibility to cultivate these qualities in our students.    The Importance of Agency in Child Development  Supporting a child’s sense of agency and giving them opportunities to make choices is beneficial to their develo

The Value of Working with Montessori Materials to Prepare for Abstract Learning

Image
This system in which a child is constantly moving objects with his hands and actively exercising his senses, also takes into account a child’s special aptitude for mathematics. When they leave the material, the children very easily reach the point where they wish to write out the operation. They thus carry out an abstract mental operation and acquire a kind of natural and spontaneous inclination for mental calculations. —Maria Montessori The Discovery of the Child, p. 279. In Montessori education, the practice of learning through hands-on experiences and concrete materials holds great significance. Adults who are not familiar with Montessori principles sometimes find the materials to be fussy and time-consuming to use. However, to young learners, these hands-on materials are fascinating. Exploring and working with the Montessori materials provides children with a valuable, concrete means of understanding concepts, laying the foundation for abstract learning. The Power of Concr

Nurturing Communication in the Montessori Environment: Speaking Respectfully to Infants and Toddlers

Image
If you consider this absorbent mind in relation to language, you will understand how necessary it is to put a small child among people who speak well and correctly, and who talk a great deal. —Maria Montessori The 1946 London Lectures, p. 66. In the Montessori environment, communication is a fundamental component of establishing a nurturing and respectful relationship between adults and young children. By employing effective communication techniques, parents and teachers can create an enriching environment that promotes the development of language skills, independence, and mutual respect. In this article, we explore the importance of respectful language when speaking to infants and toddlers in the Montessori environment and highlight the significance of asking permission before touching or moving a child.   Creating a Language-Rich Environment The Montessori philosophy emphasizes the importance of providing infants and toddlers with a language-rich environment. Research sugges

Hands-On Montessori Materials: The Key to Effective Learning Beyond Memorization

Image
Pink Tower The discussion between memorization and learning is an ongoing topic amongst elementary Montessori teachers. There is a striking difference between these two approaches to learning. While memorization may have its merits in certain contexts, true learning is best fostered through hands-on experiences and the utilization of Montessori materials. Hands-on Montessori materials facilitate a deeper understanding of concepts that move beyond mere memorization. Engaging the Senses One of the fundamental principles of the Montessori approach is to engage the senses in the learning process. By using hands-on materials, children are actively involved in their own education. These materials stimulate multiple senses, such as touch, sight, and even hearing, resulting in a more holistic and effective learning experience. When children manipulate objects and physically interact with Montessori materials, they internalize concepts and build a solid foundation for future learning. Addi

Following the Child: Why Montessori Preschool Teachers Abandon "Letters of the Week"

Image
With the profound interest of one who has made a discovery, he had understood that each of these sounds corresponded to a letter of the alphabet. Indeed, what is alphabetical writing, if not the correspondence of a sign with a sound? —Maria Montessori The Secret of Childhood, p. 138. The Montessori method is a holistic and child-centered approach to learning. One notable aspect that sets Montessori early childhood teachers apart from their traditional counterparts is their deliberate abandonment of the popular practice of teaching the alphabet with "letters of the week." Instead, Montessori educators emphasize the importance of following the child's individual development and interests. In this blog post, we explore the underlying philosophy behind this approach and delve into the benefits it brings to a child's early educational journey. Letters of the Week: A Traditional Approach In many traditional preschool settings, the "letters of the week&quo
