Montessori Lesson

Few day ago I was surfing the internet trying to find a school for my girls and stumble on this Montessori. I ever hearsay about montessori but not until that day I really understand the philosophy. I was quite impressed by their curriculum and very keen to put the girls into a montessori school. However there are still many issue to be ironed out. In this mean time I thought maybe I can start exploring montessori at home.






Their first montessori lesson- Experiencing Practical Life, tying shoe laces.
The moment I took out the pair of shoe, both of them were so excited, kept reciting shoe shoe and each start wearing one piece and ran away with it. I paused them by showing them how to pull the shoe lace thru the holes and asked them to mimic me. Well, my observation is, both of them can mimic quite well but they still need to acquire more concentration inorder to complete a task from beginning to end.


See, they had lost patient and start walking with the oversized shoe. I was still enjoying watching the two clumsy girls walking around with the oversized shoe and then knocked my head when realised myself was being negligence. It was quite dangerous for them to wear the oversize shoe as they might trip and fall or even twist their ankle. So we called it a day for the shoe laces tying lesson.
