Beginning September 11 we'll begin a ten-part series on normalization taking a look at each of the ten signs of on-track development in the young child: love of order, love of work, deep spontaneous concentration, attachment to reality, love of silence and working alone, sublimation of the possessive instinct, power to act from real choice not just curiosity or impulsivity, trust and obedience, independence and initiative, as well as spontaneous self-discipline.
Each newsletter will also be available in a pdf format for you to easily download and share with your school's families and staff. Download an example here.
Sign up below to get this series of Understanding Montessori newsletters delivered to your inbox on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. You can unsubscribe at any time.
All the best,
Maren Schmidt
