Fire Hall #1
2007-09-13 06:45:00 I've always wanted to see inside a fire station, but got my first chance to do so this morning, accompanying Kasia's Montessori preschool class to Fire Hall #1. It was pretty interesting!Kasia's preschool class at Fire Station #1Paramedic demonstrates Oxygen mask on Kasia"Hey, get down from there!" Well, not really. They gave each of the kids a chance to sit in the driver's seat. Kasia is obviously enjoying herself!I found the whole expedition highly enjoyable, and watching the kids climbing over the equipment, kept thinking of the Robert Munch story where a couple of kids insert themselves into a fire station. Guess that would make a good choice for tonight's bed time reading.Cover of Robert Munsch book, "Fire Station".

Perhaps Montessori ...

Montessori Homeschooling
2007-06-06 08:41:00 Developed from the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, this style of teaching aims at duplicating natural laws that a child faces in life. Thus the aim of the teacher is to control the environmentand not the child. It was observed that children who are left free to interact with their environment developed an innate self-discipline, love for order and natural curiosity.The Montessori method of teaching is especially suitable to the preschooler who wants to do everything by himself. Finding ways in which your child can participate in the cleaning, washing, cooking, gardening and other 'adult' activities sets the perfect backdrop for the learning experience. By providing such opportunities for independence, the child's self-esteem also gets a huge boost.Developed from the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, this style of teaching aims at duplicating natural laws that a child faces in life.
