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".

Though, I will divide the activities into two, namely: 3-4 and 4-5, there is not a sharp difference between the ages.

What is " The Absorbent Mind" ?

The Absorbent Mind A child’ s development occur in different stages. The first plane is between 0 and 6 years old, and this stage is divided into two sub-phases also: 0 -3 and 3 -6. The memory is observed after three years old. The child is unconscious from the birth to almost three years old, but he can still learn so many things. Now the question is, how a child can still remember if he does not have a memory? The key factor here is, while we learn by our mind, the children just gets in what exists around, i.e. they acquire with their psyche. While the information we learnt remains in somewhere in our memory in separate forms, the child transforms it and makes it a part of himself, and thus, those taken into him becomes incarnate by forming his mind and psychic body. The newborn child is endowed with such a faculty that he can take in the environment and can transform it. It is something different what we know about mind, memory and learning concepts. It is a type of gaini...

Freedom, Discipline, Art and Music, Grace and Courtesy in Montessori Education

Freedom and Discipline Discipline does not come from birth, but it is something to be developed. It is an active discipline, being stability in orientation. If the environment is stable, the child feels confident. In environment, presentations are a kind of limitation, rule, how to handle with the instrument. Freedom is not something that letting the child does as he likes. Even cleaning and placing it in the right place after using, is a part of freedom, because he prepares the material for the next child going to use the material. Freedom of Choice: 1- Material: They can choose any material that they want to work with. The limitation here is that they can choose only known, presented before materials. 2- Place: They can choose where to work, either on table, in garden, on the rug, etc. but there are limitations. The material should be suitable with the place. 3- Partner: The child is free choosing his partner, but the person should be also willing to work with him, th...
