Montessori Circle Time is a period within the school day when the children are gathered together with the teacher to do group activities. It is called circle time as children and teachers sit in a round formation facing each other. Circle Time has an open format, but can include such activities as games, singing, lessons, and routines. A typical Montessori school day begins with Circle Time.
Children need the opportunity to explore, practice, and repeat movements through simulating and purposeful activity in a safe and supportive setting. Through these repeated experiences, our infants and toddlers develop their muscles, perfect their movements, and ultimately perfect themselves.
As long as your child is safe, they should be able to move about a space unhindered. Self-directed learning is a cornerstone of Montessori education, as are hands-on learning experiences. Give your child the space they need both indoors and outdoors to learn about the world.
If you are thinking about setting limits Montessori-style, then you have to realize that learning begins from birth. Children have highly absorbent minds, and they want to explore as much of the world as possible. The responsibility of the adult role model is to expose them to the world as safely as possible through freedom within limits.
When we respect our toddler’s need for order, independence, and personal space, when we help him name and express their big feelings, we can make huge strides in making toddler time less tantrum prone and more enjoyable for the entire family.
The Reggio Emilia approach provides a wonderful foundation for children. Adopting this approach in your home allows for a supportive collaboration between families and teachers and provides students with an encouraging support system. The play-based, child-led learning approach is sure to produce a well-rounded child.
The Montessori Method was never a cookie-cutter way to teach children. Since the beginning, Montessori has always been about the individual. Children are allowed to be themselves in the classroom.
When parents discover Montessori, they understand that it is about giving freedom and independence to their children. So when it comes to discipline the Montessori way, parents might be confused and weary of saying no, of having rules as they know “punishment” is not the answer.
When you imagine a leader worthy of emulation, who comes to mind? Perhaps someone such as Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie, Martin Luther King Jr., or similar famous names? You may even think of someone who may not be famous to the world, but who had a dramatic, lasting, positive effect on your life.
