MONTESSORI INSPIRED : Animals


  Animals

 Animals are best observed free in nature. 
Hang a bird feeder just outside the window
and show the child how to sit quietly so
that the birds won't be afraid. 

 

If animals visit the classroom, we first prepare
for all the animal's needs ahead of time-comfort,
exercise, food, warmth, gentle handling- and have
the visit last only as long as the guest is comfortable,
the consideration for the animal being more
important than the satisfaction of our curiosity. 


Studying humans, for example the hands
and senses, focuses attention on the
similarity and differences between humans
and other animals-and to the needs of all.
