The first school outing in 2024!!!

As the saying goes,

It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.. but for me, why don’t we do both when we can?

Yes, no doubt that reading and learning from paper materials is how we learn in most time of our lives, but outing is important as looking at the paper materials as the real experience helps human beings to build concrete memory about what they have been looking at 👀👀

How to foster confidence in writing among young children?

People have great thoughts or ideas, but it’s always not an easy task to project our own thoughts verbally or even through words…why?? Perhaps a person was being pointed when he was trying to express himself…

In a Montessori classroom, we always open up a topic for children to talk about it, anything!!! Children will not be pointed if the statement they make is right or wrong, including the self exploration and the writing which comes in later after they are able to express themselves.

When children have confidence, the drive to self learning and exploring will go further, and thus making learning is joyful.

In Montessori, children of different ages learn together in the same classroom. This promotes collaboration, social skills, empathy, and the sharing of knowledge. Older children become mentors to younger ones, fostering a sense of community and mutual respect.

The power of observation is one of the many key elements of a Montessori classroom. Children are free to observe their peers, in so far as they don’t interrupt their concentration, or otherwise disturb them.

Observation in a Montessori classroom is beneficial for several reasons:

Promotes Learning- Observation allows children to learn from their peers’ actions, behaviours, and interactions, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts.

Develops Empathy-By observing others, children develop empathy and an understanding of different perspectives and emotions.

Encourages Independence-Through observation, children learn to solve problems on their own and develop self-reliance, which are fundamental principles of the Montessori method.

Enhances Social Skills-Observing peers in a classroom setting helps children learn social norms, develop communication skills, and build friendships.

Supports Different Learning Styles-Observation caters to different learning styles, allowing children to absorb information visually and kinesthetically.

Facilitates Teacher Guidance-Teachers can use observations to assess individual children’s needs and tailor their guidance and support accordingly.

Overall, observation plays a crucial role in the Montessori classroom, contributing to a holistic learning experience for children.
