Description
The Montessori medium working rug defines the child’s work space. Maria Montessori talked about “freedom within limits”, in the Discovery of the Child. This was explained when she discussed school desks for children, and how unsuitable they were (in the early 1920’s).
All the children in the classroom take the clearly defined work space very seriously, and treat it with respect. No child will interfere with another child’s personal workspace. They learn it is never alright to disturb a classmate at work; or to join a classmate’s work space; unless given permission by that student.
