This year long series looks at the experiences of teachers, parents, students, and Montessori education itself, as we follow a student through his first year at a Montessori Preschool. The Montessori Insights and Reflections of a Preschool Student’s First Year is a collection of useful stories, tips, and information that has arisen from one real student's Montessori journey, viewed through the eyes of his Montessori Teacher, Bree Von Nes.
Another milestone occurred during snack time today in our Montessori preschool classroom. Since the start of school, Jordan has needed help finding his lunch bag, unzipping it and opening his containers. Despite our constant efforts to encourage Jordan to be independent, he falls apart when he is not confident in doing something on his own and refuses to even make the effort.
