Clouds in the Sky!


 "As soon as children find something that interests them,
they lose their instability, and learn to concentrate."
-Maria Montessori

In this activity, the kids were made to look at the sky for a minute of two.
Then the teacher gave them the cotton, glue, and a paper.
Teacher told them that if given a chance to make the sky with clouds,
How will they do it?

Some of the kids stayed on their table to do it.
Some went out to see cloud formations.

Truly kids can do it in their own.
They are creative, we only have to give them a chance to be.

(Lesson for the week is all about the different weather.)









I Can Take Care of Plants

"Never help a child with a task at which he thinks he can succeed."
-Maria Montessori

Early childhood focuses often on "Learning through PLAY".
Kids learn through it is one of the best strategies in moulding them.
They have fun at the same time they are unaware that it is already what you call "Class Lesson".

In this activity, the teacher's lesson is on the Plant's Needs and on How to Take Care of it.
The teacher asked the parents to bring one plant with a name of their child on it.
They will have to take care of their plants.
They will water it, and weed it out.
From that the kids will learn to be responsible enough to take care of their plants.
They are unaware that the teacher had helped them developed their sense of responsibility.

At the same time, they can tell already what their plants need.
Not through teacher's lecture but as their realization in their everyday task.
