The Montessori Minute Video: Independence at Arrival

If it takes two minutes or ten, each child is given the time and tools to be independent during morning arrival. Students walk to class, put away jackets, and switch to their inside shoes before finding work in the classroom. They are given help when needed, and a friend or sibling may be the helper! This video is a fun peek behind the curtain to see opportunities for independence or leadership during arrival.
