Montessori

In our classroom there are lots of shelves with study materials. Maria Montessori created most of them. She noticed that children learn much more when they do something with their hands, can move around and don't have to sit still for hours.
Every morning we start with free work. Here you can choose for yourself what you want to do. You can work sitting on rugs on the floor, but of course everyone also has his or her own work table. Most of the time we start with individual work, but we can also work with partners.
Of course, you have to finish one job before you start something new. Our teachers help us with this. After finishing our work we return all the materials to their place. We can continue the work we have started the next day. At the end of free work we take our study diary and write down what we have done. There are also various smileys that we can colour in.
