Once children have begun to write letters, they are quickly motivated to apply that knowledge to useful, meaningful activities. But a child who wants to write a lot may not yet have the attention span or endurance to write for long. It falls, then, to the creative Montessori teacher to
Montessori for Dementia and Ageing is an innovative approach to dementia care that can be adopted for individuals or groups as a philosophy of care. The goal of the Montessori program is to support older adults and people living with dementia by creating a prepared environment, filled with cues and
The Child believes that time is measured by actions, movement, how long (or short) it will be and it’s importance. “Time to wake up, to eat, sleep, to go to the park or to work.” Often, many parents/guardians say things like, “we will leave in 5 minutes.” This is meaningless
The use of glass instead plastic when it comes to dishes in Montessori may be somewhat of an enigma to those unfamiliar with Montessori or to those who are just starting to learn.
Not only is gardening fun, but it also helps keep us fit and gets our body moving. To be immunologically fit, you need to be physically fit. “White blood cells can be quite sedentary,” says Prof Arne Akbar, the president of the British Society for Immunology and a professor at University College, London. “Exercise mobilises them by increasing your blood flow, so they can do their surveillance jobs and seek and destroy (bacteria and germs) in other parts of the body.” (read more..) Obviously, a strong immune system is the No. 1 barrier to surviving the Corona Virus attacks.
During the last 2 months, everyone has become accustomed to practice Social Distancing. It is also known as “physical distancing”. Maintain a radius of 2m from the person nearest to you. This will prevent the spread of a contagious disease. Another way to practice this intervention is to reduce the number of times you meet another person.

When you buy a basket from Childrens House, you are not just buying a basket, you are fulfilling the dreams of a person who is blind or visually impaired. We made the decision to partner with the CTSB asking them to design baskets suitable for a Montessori environment.

The 3-D Pumping Heart The heart is an engine, a muscle, pumping blood around the body, continuously fulfilling 1 of 2 functions. It either sends oxygenated blood to various parts of the body or collects and transports de-oxygenated blood from the body to the lungs. The lungs replenish the oxygen

The sudden abundance of water got me thinking about where it all comes from and how easily we take it for granted. Let us not forget the hot, dry days of “Day Zero”. Did you know that the Mayor of Vancouver was interviewed on Cape Talk last year describing how his city is in very much similar a situation that we had been, and how the citizens were following in our footsteps to conserve their water as successfully as we did ours.
This week, we continue our fight against plastics with a focus on Turtles and their significance in the Eco-system. Society appears to be accepting the mind-set change required to reduce plastic usage, i.e. the recent British Golfing Open banned the use of plastic bottles and straws.
Sea turtles are a “keystone species”, which means they are an important part of their environment and influence other species around them. If a keystone species is removed from a habitat, the natural order can be disrupted, which impacts other wildlife and fauna in different ways.
When our team did our Mandela Day Wetlands Clean-up last week, we were confronted with a similar number of tiny bits of plastic in between the reeds of vlei. That was when we realised how our perceptions are slanted to what we want to see, not to the reality. Because we do not necessarily see big plastic bottles, etc; we assume that the beach or vlei is clean. But when you get down onto your knees, you begin to realise how real the stories on mainstream media about the microscopic danger to marine life, are.
The toddler, at this stage, has strong inclinations to work, imitate and repeat their tasks. This is the perfect age to enter Phase 1 of their education in a Montessori community. The Directress must provide an environment that emphasizes the Practical Life tasks.
