I'm not sure "attractive" is the right word here..\nNot only did Maria Montessori based her methods on practical experiences, but she analyzed them to determine what academic skills would be improved because of the experiences. For example she had many activities which require the thumb and index finger to pick up small beads, pour, and manipulate objects. She knew that the muscles involved were strengthened by these activities and that the child would develop better writing skills because of it. By using real scissors, real objects, not toys, she taught children to lean adult skills through imitation. Kids se e their parents doing the same thing and emulate them.\nAnother example was teaching the children to be neat and organized in their activities. Everything has its place, its colour and is put back after you use it. No toy boxes to throw toys in, but a place on a shelf, neat and tidy. All the cooking, cutting, gardening, feeding the animals have meaningful connections to life. We take care of animals, we are kind to our neighbors, we take care of our belongings and we use things in the right way. Children are respected and spoken to with the assumption that they are valued and cared for too. True Montessori teacher do not shout at children or tell them what to do. They point out choices or explain expected behaviour.Children develop inner discipline.They do the right thing because it is the right thing, not just because the teacher said so.

Practice makes perfect, right? Write about topics that spark a passion in you. Learn to broaden your vocabulary so you don't sound elementary. And work on your descriptive language as well. Also be open to constructive criticism. Good Luck!

In the introduction, give a general idea of the issue, question, or ideas you are going to write about. It's especially good if you can get in a "hook" or attention grabber to capture people's interest. For example, "By the year 2060, ninety percent of the country of Bangladesh may be underwater."\nIn the conclusion, summarize your point of view and bring closure to the essay.  \nHere's a website with hints on essay writing.\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/

I have been teaching Montessori since 1991.  If you are referring to "The Moveable Alphabet" it is to teach the children to spell (once they are able to spell, they are able to read, this is why children in a Montessori School are reading at such an early age,  Children in my class are reading at the age of 4).  In the preschool, we begin with three letter short vowel words. For example, the child will have a picture of a cat, he will lay the picture on the mat and then find the three letters that form the word cat.  Elementary children use this for spelling without using pictures.  The teacher gives the word and the child finds the letters and lays them on the mat, then writes them on paper.  With elementary children, the words given are long and short vowel sounds and consist of three or more letters.  \n\nIf you are referring to the tiles that have the letters made of sand paper, these are called "The Sand Paper Letters"  they are used to teach the child letters sounds and how to begin writing each letter.  The child traces the letter with his fingers, beginning in the place where the written letter would begin.  Each time the child traces the letter, he says the sound.  This is the first step toward reading and writing.  Once he has mastered the sounds of the letters, he is ready for the Moveable Alphabet.\n\nYou can find these items at the website listed below.

Try to incorporate their experiences with the assignments. And leave competition out of it. Try grading them on length, creativity, simplicity, structure, etc. Some subjects could be scariest, funniest, saddest, best experiences with family, friends, neighbors, and in what area of life that they occurred. Like sports, vacations, camping, swimming, zoo, museums. They could write about thier favorite electronic game, animal, celebrity, colors and numbers, name and so forth.

I am a Montessori Directress in a school for underprivileged children in Chennai,India.\nI have found that the Montessori Method has been phenomenally successful. The child develops in all areas,- cognitive, social and emotional. The variety of material and the freedom the children are given helps them to learn skills in keeping with their learning style and capacity. \nEven if the children are not sufficiently motivated as the previous answer mentioned those children are better off in such an environment where they are not forced to produce results which they can't. The child does not lose his confidence and self-esteem, which he may in a traditional school.

Master the standard format for "the five paragraph essay."  Know it backwards and forwards and stick to the formula.  Clearly expressed thoughts, coherently presented and purposeful  is more important than tossing in hastily acquired vocabulary.  When given a topic choice, go for the one with which you are most familiar.  Check this link and good luck.  And, read, read, read. If you can enlist help, ask somebody to read your practice essays who can be critical and honest.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/index.html

You want your focus to stay primarily on the mother. General topics may include forms of: \n1.) Parenting set ups (there are several forms of parenting set up-examples may include single parent, two parent in mom/dad or mom/signifiant other or mom/extended family, the mom that doesn't have full custody of her children-she may have joint custody or just visitation or may have lost visitation all together or may have lost her children all together; stay at home mom that may or may not be working from home, the working mom, etc.)\n2.) Forms of parenting styles (examples may include the "layed back" mom, the "overprotective mom", the "little bit of both mom", etc.) \n2.) Characteristics of each parenting style (including displining, raising various numbers of children, etc.) note: number of children will change the dynamics of family-examples may include single child family, two child family, three or more child family/ also note: you can look through some Child Psychology books to get ideas on how the number of children changes even the general personalities of the children and family dynamics \n3.) Circumstances that change family dynamics (examples may include poverty, alcoholism and substance abuse, overwhelming weathy situation-because they do have their issues too, roles that other people have on the family like the "pushy" relative or nosy neighbor etc., health or phycological problems of either the parent or the children or another person in the family's life, etc.) \n4.) Illistrating a mom. (pick a mom that you most identify with and talk with her find out how she deals with everything, find out from her what her most and least favorite things about being a mom are, etc.)\nAnd when doing your essay you want to make sure you show any sources where you got your information at the very least in a Bibliography (if not by footnotes).

I don't believe that I have ever heard the term beyond center, however, I am a montessori pre-school teacher and circle time lessons are used everyday.  The children arrive at school and after being individually greeted, we all sit at circle where various subjects are discussed (Daily:calendar, weather, singing about their clothing, introducing or re-introducing teaching materials) We also talk about the specific curriculum which varies from planets, anatomy, what makes a mammal a mammal etc, etc. An art project is usually demonstrated and a few motor skill songs are also sung.  The children, who range in age from 2yrs-5yrs are able to remain focused and interested for an hour, which truely amazes visitors (as well as myself at times) Before the children are dismissed for free choice they "play" what is referred to as the silence game, where they replenish calm and control, sing a quiet song and are able to remain quiet and still for about 30 to 45 seconds.  If you have never observed a Montessori pre-school program..I highly recommend doing so..Maria Montessori was way ahead of her time and her teaching methods are effective and truely prepare children with the "whole picture".

Hi there!\n\nWell, I would like to say that a child should be provided an environment where he can be himself and develop into a good personality. \n\nI hope I do not sound 'cliche'\n\nAs a young teacher, I feel that most of the children now-a days are prepared by the parents, teachers or rather society to play a role which they could not play or reach the place which they have never been! \n\nI am not against encouraging them to face future but rather than providing with materialistic things and making them more dependent and selfish we can give then 'Values' which seem to be deteriorating day by day!\n\nThey should be made aware about the real facts regarding people rather than bookish knowledge!\n\nThey should be taught to share, to take all things whether sad or happy moments in their stride and develop self confidence with self respect but not arrogance and rudeness!\n\nthey should not be taught by instruction but indirectly by being an example!\n\nSo, I hope I was able to justify the answer and make sense!\n\nWell much more can be written but it would be too long answer!
