- It was good to see the child pulling the cylinders out one by one!
- Eventually the child started being rough with the material, playing with the cylinders as if they were toys.  This would be a good point to intervene.
- Child may need another lesson at a later time, or to be redirected toward using the materials correctly.]]> 2022-02-16 01:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049853963 preparedmontessorian https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049919497 2022-02-16 02:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049919497 preparedmontessorian https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049919629 2022-02-16 02:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049919629 https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049934115 - Classroom seemed normalized!
- Children seemed focused, independent, concentrated, and appeared to be completing the work cycle.
- Environment was well prepared with lots of space, materials ready for use.
- Children respected one another's work--did not distract friends while working. But there was also a lack of social interaction between children
- Each child was doing their own individual work... some perhaps weren't as engaged or were waiting for the help of a guide.]]> 2022-02-16 02:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/preparedmontessorian/u3agrq5oxnm001a2/wish/2049934115
