The classroom environment should be more about promoting the child's creativity rather than showcasing my own.Christine Qnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-71482820022028913092012-09-13T14:49:17.412-07:002012-09-13T14:49:17.412-07:00Thank you for your article on the decor of a Monte...Thank you for your article on the decor of a Montessori classroom vs. a "traditional" classroom. When I started teaching, I taught in a public Montessori classroom which of course looked very much like the ones pictured in your article. Unfortunately for me due to # at enrollment I was transfered to another school in the district at which point I spent the next 6 years enslaved to Principals instructing (even ordering) me to fill my walls with student work, posters, job charts, calendars, etc etc. It was an endless battle and I constantly felt my room was cluttered. It had a profound effect on my ability to teach as well. I run into parents of my Montessori students and am told how they have never since been a classroom that was as organized, calm, or inspired learning and I tell them neither have I. I miss my Montessori classroom! EBVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144809893210936683noreply@blogger.com
