"Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core."

The shipment of Trevor Eissler books, "Montessori Madness" has arrived. This is a must read for those parents who attended the presentation with the author, for those parents who could not attend the meeting and for anyone interested in Montessori education. This is an easy to read book which offers profound insight into the reasons why a parent should enroll their child at a Montessori School.

MMUN Update
Over the past 3 days, three upper elementary students and Mr. Matt participated in the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) in New York representatives of New Zealand. This year's conference was attended by over 700 Montessori students from around the world.
The students debated and wrote resolutions around the topics of "Protection of Human Rights including new approaches for improving the freedoms for all, particularly women, children and minority groups" and "Rights of Indigenous Groups, especially women and children in Latin America".
On the last day, the students convened at the United Nations and voted on the relolutions. All resolutions which were passed will be presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

"The feeling of being bored, of having nothing to do, has nothing to do with being a child. Rather, it has to do with being a child of the present generation. Where children are not over-indulged, they are not bored."
