MONTESSORI PRACTICAL LIFE ..is the area of getting INDEPENDENCE

MONTESSORI'S PRACTICAL LIFE IS THE AREA OF GETTING INDEPENDENCE , GAINING CONTROL Of THE ENVIRONMENT and a properly  Developed FINE-MOTOR Skill.

Practical life area is full of practical stuff which children face everyday ,but usually are not allowed by parents to do. Opening and locking a key is a wonderful blow to a child's curious mind , and his fine motor skills .



To make bubbles with a soapy water, to get the know how of how to clean up ,ARE ALL LITTLE STUFF CHILDREN can learn in a MONTESSORI school.

 Children learn how to take care of plants even when theyr very small, and by the time they start their 6th year, they are an expert in dealing with plants in a Montessori class.
 
 
These girls are cleaning the window of the classroom, they discovered that window needed some cleaning, so thye got the water spray, some dusters to start the activity...it took them about 15- 20 minutes to finish the simple activity...Montessori system allows the child to grow in his / her own pace, it never ask for quick fixes,which is the core system nowadays and which is robbing children of their creativity and peaceful mind.
 
 not only they are learning the daily life skills and getting the Independence but theyr getting the messeges of team work and co operating.
 
this boy is learning to screw and unscrewthe  nuts and bolts...Perfect example of geting independence .
 
 
the concentration needs not to develope in children, they have it...naturally, allthey need is the fertile environment to blosom.
 
 The Tonging experience demands curiosity and concentration.....
 
 
Spooning is an activity kids not only enjoy but they keep doing it until some perfection is reached, so who are we to test children about how much they know, they know it beter than us...we can only estimate while they are in  aposition to dominate.
 
She is watering the plants as they know how to detect the dryness .
 
 
And offcourse the eating habits ...and table manners.
 This is just a glimpse of a Montessori Practical life activities, it is as vast and varied as a life can be.
