Hi... we usually teach sight words by using the Three Period Lesson and we have some great videos on that as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s amazing how we can see such changes when we step back and reflect. It’s never too late to adjust our approach, and by giving our children the space and patience they need, we often find they respond much more positively. It’s a journey for both of us as parents and for our children. Keep nurturing that understanding and connection-small shifts can lead to big changes!

Thank you for your feedback! I understand your concern. The video focuses on the principles behind Montessori discipline, but you're right-specific examples can be really helpful. In Montessori, if a child doesn’t do A or B, we observe to understand why and gently guide them towards making a positive choice. We encourage independence, set clear expectations, and offer choices that respect their autonomy. If you have specific scenarios in mind, feel free to share them, and I'd be happy to provide more detailed guidance!

Thank you for your comment! Focusing on one continent at a time is a great approach, especially with the 3-6 age group. It helps children build a clear understanding and connection with the concepts. Introducing concepts one at a time allows for deeper exploration and less confusion. However, as they grow older and more familiar with the continents, comparing them can be a wonderful way to expand their knowledge. Using figurines alongside cards is a fantastic idea-it brings a tactile and visual element that enhances their learning experience. Keep up the great work!

I'm glad you found it interesting! Montessori discipline is all about guiding children with respect and understanding, helping them develop self-discipline and inner motivation. If you have any specific questions or thoughts, feel free to share!

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Transitioning to the Montessori approach can be challenging, but it's definitely worth it. Starting with Practical Life is an excellent idea because it lays the foundation for independence, concentration, and coordination, which are key to all other areas. Once children feel confident in Practical Life activities, you can gradually introduce other areas like Sensorial, Math, and Language. Remember, it's a journey, and it's okay to take it one step at a time. If you need any more guidance or resources, I'm here to help. Looking forward to hearing about your progress!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the videos helpful. Your support means a lot, and I'm happy to be a part of your learning journey!

Great question! When children have to pour dry materials into two different-sized containers and still have some left over, they're indirectly working on concepts like estimation, volume, and comparison. They begin to understand that different containers hold different amounts and that the quantity of the materials remains the same even when distributed differently. This hands-on experience with volume and quantity lays the groundwork for more abstract mathematical concepts later on. It’s a wonderful, practical way to introduce basic math skills through everyday activities!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the presentation. I'll definitely consider your request for a presentation on multiplication with multicolored bar chains and arrow cards. It's a fantastic method to explore, and I'd love to share more about it. Stay tuned, and thank you for your support!

Great question! In the Montessori Pink Series, we start by introducing the short vowel sounds of "a," as in "cat" and "rat." Consistency in sound helps children build a solid foundation in early reading. As they progress, we introduce the idea that some letters, like "a," can make different sounds depending on the word. We use additional materials and activities to explore these variations in pronunciation as their reading skills develop. It's all about layering their understanding step by step. Please watch our video on the Green Series to see how its done

@SunshineTeachersTraining Thank you very much!

In a Montessori classroom, while there is freedom for the children to choose activities, the teacher plays a vital role in guiding their learning. The teacher does have a flexible schedule that allows them to observe each child and provide lessons at the right time. This observation helps the teacher understand each child’s strengths, weaknesses, and needs. The teacher uses these insights to offer individualized support and ensure that every child is progressing. So, the schedule might not be rigid, but it's carefully planned to meet each child's needs while allowing for exploration and independence.

Absolutely! False fatigue is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn how to manage their energy and emotions. By allowing them to take a break and then refocus, they develop important skills in self-regulation and resilience. These habits indeed set a strong foundation for handling stress and challenges throughout life. Thanks for your thoughtful comment!

I'm glad to hear that you're finding the presentations helpful. I'll definitely consider creating a presentation on math decimal beads and cards. It's a great way to explore decimals in a hands-on, visual way. Thank you for your suggestion, and stay tuned for more!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm truly touched to hear that your daughter is enjoying the videos and learning from them. It's wonderful to know that she's connecting with the content in a positive way. Your support means the world to me, and I'm so glad I can be a part of her learning journey!

Thank you for your interest! Showing the activities in action is a great way to understand how they work. I'll make sure to include demonstrations in future videos so you can see exactly how these Practical Life activities can be done. We also have many activities from EPL already like Spooning, Pouring, pegging and many many more on our channel. Please feel free to explore. Your feedback is really valuable-stay tuned for more!

Thank you, Muna

Yes Thats true.

Hi... I am sharing the page of our sister company, The Academy of Montessori. Here you will find out accreditation information: academyofmontessori.com

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's amazing how giving children time and space to develop at their own pace can lead to such positive outcomes. Letting go of the pressure and allowing them to grow naturally really does make a difference. I'm so glad to hear that your child's handwriting is now beautiful-patience truly pays off!

Thank you :)

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask!

Thank you for sharing this detailed breakdown of the Three Period Lesson! It's a fundamental Montessori technique that helps children internalize and master new vocabulary or concepts at their own pace. Your explanation is clear and thorough, making it easy for others to understand how to implement this method effectively. Always remembering to ask the child if they want to learn and keeping the lessons simple and focused on just a few words at a time are key points that ensure a positive and successful learning experience. Thanks again for this great contribution!

Absolutely! The connection between hands-on experiences and the mind is a core principle in Montessori education. Engaging the senses through touch and exploration helps to solidify learning and makes it more meaningful. It's amazing how much our hands can teach our minds! Thank you for your insightful comment!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. A great book to dive deeper into phonics, especially from a Montessori perspective, is *"The Montessori Method"* by Maria Montessori, which provides foundational insights. For a specific focus on phonics, you might find *"Montessori Read and Write: A Parent's Guide to Literacy for Children"* by Lynne Lawrence very helpful. It offers practical advice and detailed information on phonics and literacy the Montessori way. Happy reading!

Thanks Muna

hello Muna

Hi Muna

Yes, the Silence Game can definitely be adapted for a Montessori lower elementary classroom! It's a wonderful activity that encourages focus, self-discipline, and mindfulness, which are valuable skills for children at this age. In a lower elementary setting, you can extend the game by adding elements like listening to the sounds around them or reflecting on how the silence makes them feel. It's a great way to build a peaceful, concentrated classroom environment.

Thanks for watching :)

Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for your thoughtful question! You're absolutely right that toddlers, especially those under three, often understand actions more than words, and this is a key aspect of the Montessori approach. In Montessori and positive discipline, the focus is on guiding behavior through consistent actions, modeling, and creating a prepared environment. When a toddler hits, instead of relying solely on verbal reasoning, the adult can gently but firmly intervene by stopping the action and saying something simple like, "No hitting, hands are for gentle touches." Then, guide the child to use gentle hands by showing them what that looks like. It’s also important to observe and understand why the toddler is hitting. Are they frustrated, tired, or seeking attention? By addressing the underlying cause, we can often reduce the behavior. Consequences in Montessori are natural and logical. For example, if a child is hitting with a toy, the toy is removed calmly, and the child is redirected to a more appropriate activity. The adult stays consistent and patient, helping the child understand through repeated experiences what behavior is expected. Over time, as the child’s language and reasoning skills develop, they’ll begin to understand the words that accompany these actions. The key is consistency, modeling the behavior we want to see, and providing a safe, calm environment where boundaries are clear. Your experience in volunteering at a pre-school is invaluable, and your approach to wanting to guide children gently and effectively aligns well with these principles.

These are great questions and touch on important aspects of child development, especially in a Montessori setting. For children, particularly boys, who have a strong urge to move and struggle to complete the work cycle, it's crucial to honor their need for movement while gently guiding them towards completing tasks. Montessori environments are designed to allow movement, and you can incorporate activities that involve movement, like walking on the line, carrying heavy objects, or using large motor activities, which can help them focus better when returning to more sedentary tasks. For children who move quickly from one activity to another and have short attention spans, it's important not to rush them or force them to stay on one activity for too long. Instead, observe the types of activities that seem to capture their interest, even if just for a few minutes. Gradually, you can introduce activities that are slightly more challenging or engaging to lengthen their concentration naturally. Sometimes, offering choices within a structured environment helps them feel more in control, which can also lead to longer focus periods. Instead of labeling a child with ADHD, the Montessori approach emphasizes understanding each child's individual needs and providing an environment that supports their natural development. The goal is to create a balance between freedom and structure, allowing children to move while also gently encouraging them to complete tasks. Over time, as their developmental needs are met and they feel understood, many children naturally begin to extend their periods of concentration and complete their work cycles more consistently. Patience, observation, and a prepared environment tailored to their needs are key in helping them grow.

Thank you for your interest! A Three Period Lesson on animal sciences sounds like a fantastic idea. I'll definitely consider creating a video on that to help guide you through the process. It's a great way to introduce and reinforce concepts in zoology with children. Stay tuned, and thanks again for your suggestion!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Ms. Delphine ! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. In our curriculum, recording usually starts after operations with the boards, with the Stamp Game coming later in the sequence. This first step towards recording is crucial as it bridges the concrete to the abstract, helping the child internalize mathematical concepts. The exercise with the large number rods is an early math activity that helps solidify the understanding of quantity and numerical order. It fits into the progression after the child is familiar with the basic concept of numbers and before moving on to more complex operations like addition and subtraction with the Golden Beads. If a child is ready for the addition with small number rods, they may indeed be ready for the Snake Game and Strip Boards, as these activities also reinforce addition and subtraction concepts but in different, more abstract ways. The key is to observe the child and ensure they're comfortable and confident with each step before moving on. Every child’s progression is unique, and Montessori allows flexibility to meet them where they are. Thanks again for your thoughtful questions!
