Teaching Toddlers to Teach Themselves

Available from: ProQuest

Publication: Montessori Life, vol. 26, no. 2

Pages: 44-47

See More

Abstract/Notes: The world of infants and toddlers is a world of unflagging curiosity and discovery. They are compelled to go, with boundless energy, after the skills that they need for the future. When they are allowed to accumulate as rich and as multifaceted a bundle of formative experiences as possible, teachers expand the material that they have to construct themselves. In practicing the discipline of being nonessential in classrooms, teachers teach children to trust their interests and the value of their hands-on experience. And in turn, the children teach themselves everything they need to know in order to become the people that they will be. The author shares her beliefs in using the Montessori Method to teach infants and toddlers to teach themselves.

Power Picture Books: Tools for Teaching Peace

Available from: ProQuest

Publication: Montessori Life, vol. 20, no. 4

Pages: 32-37

See More

Abstract/Notes: The picture book is a simple yet profound tool for teaching peace. Picture books are nearly pieces of art--with rich text accompanied by illustrations, paintings, and photographs that speak to the spirit of the child. They are an ideal peace resource, in part because they are readily accessible for all age levels. Books can be borrowed through local library services, an easy and cost-free option. A school may find it worthwhile to build a peace library collection, thereby establishing a resource pool that can be shared by all teachers in the building. Five hundred dollars will buy about 30 books. A fund drive or a small grant are options for tight budgets. In some schools, children donate a book to the classroom or school library on their birthdays. Consider creating a peace bibliography and asking families to donate a book from the list as a contribution to the peace book project. Next, look at what it means to teach for peace and how to organize the learner objectives for teaching peace. The following categories form the framework for a curriculum for teaching peace: (1) Inner Peace; (2) Peace in a Classroom Community; (3) Universal/Cultural Peace; and (4) Peace in Nature. Given this framework for cultivating the peace-loving spirit of the child, it is possible to look more closely at the picture book themes that will form the basis for or complement the objectives that shape the 4-part framework. This article discusses books which have been included for both powerful text and exceptional art.
