There exists in the small child an unconscious mental state which is of a creative nature. We have called it the “Absorbent Mind.” The tiny child’s absorbent mind finds all its nutriment in its surroundings…Especially at the beginning of life. We must, therefore, make the environment as interesting and attractive as we can. -Maria Montessori

The Montessori Method is based on self-motivation to learn. Children are considered to be at work during the day, but they have fun doing it. They do go beyond life skills, learning geometry, geography, phonics, and much more. Young children have the capacity to absorb, learn, and do so much. They just need a controlled, creative environment to allow them to pursue their interests.

Enjoy these images of your children at “work”!

We welcomed two new students into our classroom this week!  Eve and Rowan.  The children were so wonderful making them both feel comfortable and a part of our classroom family!

Next Tuesday, March 2nd, we will be celebrating Read Across America Day!  Please look out for an email with more information about this fun event!

Wishing you a peaceful week,

Amanda & Sharlene
