Week 2: Preparation of the Environment, 2/3

Welcome to Week Two!

This week centers around the environment (both our inner and outer) and is one we will explore further. During this week you will view, practice, and reflect on the following:
  • Words by Maria Montessori on an environment from the perspective of the Child
  • An article on Observation and Freedom, which I would like you to read and from now throughout the course, to reflect on and bring into your own practice of Montessori. Whether you are presently teaching or out in your world, with family, adults or children...there are opportunities to bring these invitations for study into practice. I would ask that you reflect on these in your Observation Journal or notebook. At the end of the course I will ask to see your reflections as part of your course work.
  • You will have opportunity to view a video on a prepared environment for the Child
  • As well, you will have an experiential practice that will be directed, and a listening reflection on Montessori
  • Please remember to work on your Checklist; add to this, write down any thoughts or questions you might have

Our weekly Zoom meeting is Wednesday, February 5, 8 pm EST
