Abstract/Notes: This article discusses the results of a survey conducted at the Princeton Montessori School (PMS) in New Jersey, a school serving age levels from infants through middle school. The author designed a series of five to six questions about memories of activities, teachers, and friends for all current K-8 students with a minimum of 1 year of Montessori schooling and for former students for whom she had contact information. The study suggests that the Montessori approach as practiced at the PMS works. Results in areas of "memories of classroom" and "favorite works" are consistent in supporting the use of concrete materials for internalization of abstract concepts. Responses from all areas of this study at PMS provide support for Montessori educators' implementation of the principles of independence, freedom to choose, socialization, and movement in their classrooms. Students participating in the study liked food work because they could eat, move around, and share. They enjoyed and remember the concrete materials, especially the math materials because of their beauty and concrete quality. All levels enjoyed being outdoors and those in the Elementary and Middle School programs, in particular, liked having specials, not only because of the activity, but because they developed skills while having fun.

Abstract/Notes: Wherever elementary school students sprout beans, grow sugar crystals from solution, and count the number of robins in their yards, the Handbook exerts its influence. When Mario's American emissary Nancy Rambusch requested more scientific rigor in the training process, as well as other changes, Mario refused, and they parted ways in 1963 (Whitescarver & Cossentino, 2006, p. 4). Since this schism, the Early Childhood science area has not evolved much in AMS or AMI teacher education. In a widely circulated position paper, the National Science Teachers Association stated that "learning science and engineering in the early years can foster children's curiosity and enjoyment in exploring the world and lay the foundation for a progression of science learning in K-12 settings and their entire lives" (NSTA, 2014, p. 1). Adding physical science to the Early Childhood curriculum, as well as introducing engineering and technology, seems especially relevant given that: [The] National Science Foundation's Discovery Research K-12 program has begun to solicit and fund proposals to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational programs that support prekindergarten children and those who teach them.
