Three Period Lesson

  • Be precise, clear, slow enough sothe child can listen and understand.

  •  For the correct pronunciation, the child gains the information indirectly, by observing and trying on himself.

  • The vocabulary should be challenging and shouldbe unknown to child.

  • 1st step: Introduction (Naming): Point to the object and give the name. 
If you are working with cards , then present the cards one by one, donot lay all down, it wouldbe an obstacle in learning.

No discussion, no explanation inthis stage,just give the name.

Isolate the difficulty: the new word.

In a different time, you can provide information from books, videos, go outside or experience the new word in different aspects.

  • 2nd step: Association/ Recognition: Here, you pronounce, the child recognises. 
"Please show me..."
" Please give me..."
" Please take the..."

If the child is so active, then include movement inthis stage.

You should not always use the same command. 

You should include different activities.

This stage should be as long as possible.

If the child is done with the recognition, then you can pass into the next stage.

  • 3rd stage: Recall. This stage is a kind of test. 
This is the only stage that the child pronounces.

Do not be boring here, try to be creative.

For example, say close your eyes,and hide one object.Then ask for the missing object.

Another example, say close your eyes, then give an object on her hand and then, tellher "guess what it is".

Montessori Four Planes of Development

  Four Planes of Development According to psychological researches it has been accepted that a man does not possess always the same psyche and the same mind at different periods of his life. There are clear distinctions between these periods; indeed, it was applied in educational system all over the world instinctively.   And these periods are accompanied with some remarkable physical development. Human being development starts from birth and continues in several dimensions and planes. A child develops both physically and cognitively from zero to 24 years old. This development does not always go in the same line but focuses on different dimensions as time passes.   As one psychic characteristic domain at a certain period of growth, the other one starts disappearing, or sometimes they can overlap.   Dr. Maria Montessori defines these features into four developmental stages.   We can say that the first one, which goes from birth to six years old, is the infanc...

Montessori Classification Cards and Montessori Sound Boxes

Classification Cards First, I decided on the topic, and since we have several kinds of nuts nowadays, I decided on that topic. I have chosen ten types of nut, though there are much more than this, I selected only the ones that we already have in our environment. Then, I searched for nut photographs with white background. Besides, elected photos according to their content, i.e. they should contain both with shell and broken view of the nuts. I saved each in the dimension of 10*7, 5 cm, wrote labels of 1*10 cm, and doubled each because I will need them in making both mute cards and control cards. I printed them colorful, and cut them. Then, stick them on a cardboard to make them hard.  All mute cards (with no labels) are piled on the floor and are inverted. The adult takes the card on the top and asks for its name. If the child knows it the adult put it in one side, if she does not know puts it another side. This continues till all the cards are opened. Then, the adult takes almo...
