Montessori Monday




"We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry." -Maria Montessori

For the last five years I have worked as a preschool teacher, but for the last 18 months I've had the opportunity of working at a Montessori preschool. To be honest it has taken a while for the montessori philosophy to find its way into my heart, but I can finally announce that I am officially in love. I think that Maria Montessori's ideas can be implemented by any teacher and all you moms out there are the most important teacher your child will ever have. I love this quote because it embodies all that I want to give to my students. I want them to find the beauty in the world, in the experience of learning, and most importantly in themselves. I want them to know that life is poetry, a song in motion.
