Ava doing copy work with our animal cards. best thing about this is that she came up with this work activity on her own. This is a good example of Montessori's language curriculum in action.
note: Children spend a lot of time doing preparation exercises for reading and writing in school. They do works over and over - this fills a need within themselves and every child is different and have very different time tables. At the
time when they are most sensitive (absorb a lot of information in a short time) they begin writing and reading almost entirely on their own. My job is simply to "follow the child" (as Montessori says) and guide them during this time and
present them with work activities to further their interest and knowledge. It is so fun to watch them bloom!
