*Love of Work: the ability to choose work freely
*Concentration: The child is focused in what they are doing
*Self-discipline: staying with the activity that they have chosen.
*Sociability: showing patience and respect of the work and their peers. (Zener R. Revisiting The Process of Normalization.1998)]]> 2021-08-08 00:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/debmartin143/mij124dzvp13z44o/wish/1671841831 debmartin143 https://padlet.com/debmartin143/mij124dzvp13z44o/wish/1671843525 The success of the children has everything to do with the preparation of the classroom.  In this environment the child is able to choose , while teachers take time to carefully arrange the room that will  allow for independent movement.  Items are placed on shelves that are below eye level of the child.  Both natural and real elements are used so that children can learn the relationship between the items. (The Absorbent Mind, 1949.) ]]> 2021-08-08 00:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/debmartin143/mij124dzvp13z44o/wish/1671843525 debmartin143 https://padlet.com/debmartin143/mij124dzvp13z44o/wish/1671847121
The Montessori Classroom should have the following: shelving, tables, seating, washing station, sensory tables, book shelves, trays, and open space. We want to create space to cultivate resilience. Each class will have furniture that is light in weight and easy for children to use. We have a infant room and two 3 year to 6 year old classroom that needs to be fully furnished. Visit www.sprout-kids.com to furnish a room for our newly facility. ]]> 2021-08-08 01:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/debmartin143/mij124dzvp13z44o/wish/1671847121 debmartin143 https://padlet.com/debmartin143/mij124dzvp13z44o/wish/1671848577 Teacher salary: $35,000
