Montessori Lesson
Montessori curriculum is an integrated thematic approach that combines separate events. Each lesson builds on many others. Each material in an environment is designed to be attractive to children and is focused on one learning concept or skill.
Most of the material has an internal mechanism that allows checking for the errors. The child is capable to check on their own work without having to depend on an adult. Montessori children learn that they do not have to worry about making mistakes. They quickly discover that they can try everything again without fear or embarrassment.
Materials are used as tools to help children work and learn at their own pace, perceive abstract ideas presented in a very concrete three-dimensional way, and help them understand what they are working on.
Spacious classroom is adapted to children of different ages. In this environment, children can learn from each other. Younger children are familiar with new concepts, but also deepen their knowledge "admiring" older children, who consider inspiring the fact that they can share their knowledge with the younger ones.
