This post is a follow up to a blog regarding the questions of a NAMC student and her lead teacher, who are experiencing some behavioral challenges with some students. Working as an assistant in a very young 3–4 year old Montessori classroom, there are 14 children in the class who were split from a larger, previously existing 3–6 class this spring. Here are some more of my responses on Montessori circle time and other transitions during the school day.
