AMI Montessori 3-6 course Art day
In I lecturer for the first AMI primary course in Morocco. In order to help the teachers understand how the children feel when they have free choice of activity and long periods of deep concentration, we created art for a full morning which turned into a full day of art. You can read about it here: CLICK: Art on the Montessori teacher’s course

Book Review:
What I like about this book is the possibility that it will give to teachers who have not learned in their training this way of presenting the various cultural areas — art, music, geography, biology and physics — to young children. That is, how to offer it in such a way that the child freely chooses to absorb the material. However, I don’t think this is a book to cozy up with and read straight through. Its value is in the excellent information about how adults can prepare themselves to inspire children in the first place. Secondly the information on how to pass on the inspiration gives a valuable pattern to follow within that section. I think it is a book to take section by section according to one’s interest. Although it is https://wordpress.com/home/susanmayclinstephenson.netscattered throughout the book, there is information on approaching various ages of children, not just young ones. The book will require the adult to put in some effort, but the author enthusiastically proclaims that it is well worth the effort for both the adult and for the child
