Montessori Learning

I have seen a lot of things online about “Montessori education: and I honestly had no idea what that way. So I looked it up. According to Wikipedia Montessori education is characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological development.

Children are allowed to learn by choosing what activity they want to do to learn a certain subject, and they are allowed to learn by discovering rather than being instructed.

Here are some blogs that I have found that have Montessori learning activities.

http://www.momshavequestionstoo.com/space-themed-montessori-tot-school-trays/  This site has some good ideas for toddlers and Montessori learning trays. I have had Thomas play with the tongs and cotton balls and he loved it. I didn’t know it was a Montessori activity though. I was just using it as a fine motor skills developing activity.

I would like to say a Thank You to all the bloggers that I have fetured here for their helpful information on Montessori learning. I hope everyone else finds them as helpful as I have.
