Maria Montessori Approach takes a holistic approach to children's development as one of this aims to her approach is to look at the child as a whole. Her approach is based on independent activities, so this involves hands on learning. to help this process teachers will provide children with age appropriate activities. Montessori St Nicholas (ND) says “She saw that children learn best of doing and that happy self-motivated learners form positive images of themselves as confident, successful people” the materials and equipment that Montessori used where used specially to help children's independence. ]]> 2018-12-12 15:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/313888785 sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314049961 2018-12-12 20:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314049961 sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314051566 2018-12-12 20:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314051566 Principles of Maria Montessori sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314052550 They are eight main principles to the Montessori Education, theses are Movement and Cognition, Choice, Interest, Extrinsic Rewards are Avoided, Learning with and from Peers, Learning in Context, Teacher Ways and Child Ways and Order in Environment and Mind. Movement and Cognition is part of the Montessori Education as in the nursery setting they put the beds on the floor instead of putting them in cribs they put them the floor so they can move around freely to explore the room and receive objects. in a school classroom they will encourage children to wash the tables so as they doing this they children will be moving, and the older children will carry out verbal commands that are written on cards.  Choice is another important principle of Montessori Education this is because it lets children freely chose what their want to play with from the resources that are out. They work it for as long as they are inspired to, then they put it away and select something else.

In a Montessori classroom the children engage and pace their own learning independently the teacher is there to help the if they need it but the teacher will only offer help in the right amounts.  Order in the Environment in a Montessori Classroom everything is in its place, and the children are quiet.  the teachers in a Montessori classroom have an important goal and this it to arrange the environment in a way that will facilitate the children's learning. "an orderly environment assists your child in developing mental order and intelligence". ]]> 2018-12-13 09:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314172581 Principles of Maria Montessori sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314172673 Learning with and from Peers and Learning in Context are two of the main important principles to Maria Montessori Approach. Learning with and from Peers is helpful when you are in Montessori Education as you will be placed in mixed age groups so for example 6-9 years old. this will help children to learn form others and they can teach each other. A younger child can excel and teach their peers.  Children learn at an early age to depend on and help each other. Learning in context in Montessori education is about if the  materials have concrete properties where they help develop the "isolation of difficulty and the isolation of quality". this information is form IMA(2017). The children learn to think and discover on their own with the Montessori materials.  ]]> 2018-12-13 09:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314172673 sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314173694 2018-12-13 09:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314173694 sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314173865 2018-12-13 09:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314173865 sophiec1258 https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314239744 2018-12-13 13:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiec1258/an46vw043f09/wish/314239744
