Printable Montessori materials for learning in the home and at school - Free Montessori Materials Montessori - Practical Life - Introduction Practical: means basic, useful, purposeful Life: means the way of living. Practical life Exercises are just that, they are Exercises so the child can learn how to do living activities in a purposeful way. The purpose and aim of Practical Life is to help the child gain control in the coordination of his movement, and help the child to gain independence and adapt to his society. It is therefore important to “Teach teaching, not correcting” (Montessori) in order to allow the child to be a fully functionional member in hios own society. Practical Life Exercises can be categorized into four different groups: Preliminary Applications, Applied Applications, Grace and Courtesy, and Control of Moment. In the Preliminary Exercises, the child learns the basic movements of all societies such as pouring, folding, and carrying. In the Applied Exercises, the child learns about the care and maintenance that helps every day life. Children are naturally interested in activities they have witnessed.
Montessori Language Program The Montessori classroom is designed in such a way that all activities gear themselves naturally toward the development of the skills required for oral and written language and reading. Language development is also encouraged in the classroom because of the freedom of conversation allowed to the children. In the Montessori environment encouragement of self expression is fostered through communication between children and their peers and children and adults. In the Language area of the environment, vocabulary is enriched in a number of ways. Precise names are used for all of the objects and apparatus. Vocabulary classification and matching exercises develop visual perception, enrich vocabulary development, and develop the left to right movement. A child will continue to progress at their own pace through the reading program. I am going to take you through the steps of the reading program I put together. Books!

The Montessori Goldmine montessorimaterial - The Montessori Great Lesson Page My name is Barbara Dubinsky. I have been involved in the Montessori community for 30 years, through my own children, as an assistant, administrator, Lower Elementary teacher and now as a trainer. Fourteen years ago, I joined the movement of Montessori into the public schools - a most exciting expansion. I teach at a magnet school in Charlotte, NC. It is both challenging and ever so rewarding at the same time. Our school is given much freedom to do what we need to do as Montessorians; we have fought fiercely to have this freedom and have proven that what we do is the best system for children. For many years, as a member of the Montessori Educational Listserv ( listserv@aol.com - write Subscribe Montessori-L in the body of the message) I saw many questions about the Great Lessons themselves and how to keep the work of the Great Lessons active in the class. This year I have finally pulled together all my work into four albums.
Montessorimaterial: källsortering Tack för den fina responsen jag får på mina material. Ett material som är mycket populärt nu är sorteringsmaterial olika kategorier.Jag är själv väldigt nöjd med den fina mallen och har valt att göra ett nytt sorteringsmaterial med samma mall. KällsorteringsmaterialVi har ett gemensamt ansvar gentemot miljön som vi måste ta på största allvar, därför tycker jag det är viktigt att även barnen får in ett miljötänkande i tidig ålder. Jag har tillverkat ett källsorteringsmaterial för barn där man sorterar bilder på skräp till olika soptunnor. Materialet består av 32 kort med bilder på skräp, (4 bilder till varje bricka) och 8 brickor med soptunnor till följande skräp:metallförpackningarpappersförpackningarmjuk och hårdplastförpackningarglasförpackningar färgat glasglasförpackningar ofärgat glasrestavfallmatavfalltidningar och returpapper Materialet är färgkodat. Hoppas ni får användning av materialet!! Trevlig kväll!
