The Greene Towne Montessori Minute series is a parent education tool that shrinks big philosophy down to simple terms, explained in just about a minute. This year, the Montessori Minute videos will be companion pieces for the monthly blog theme.
In October, the theme was Practical Life, defined by the American Montessori Society as: The Montessori term that encompasses domestic work to maintain the home and classroom environment; self-care and personal hygiene; and grace and courtesy. Practical life skills are of great interest to young children and form the basis of later abstract learning.
To learn more about Practical Life at Greene Towne, read the blog about Independence and Practical Life here and listen to the podcast here.
