Observation of a Montessori 3-6 Classroom

Today, I had an opportunity to sit in and observe a Montessori 3-6 classroom. 

Amazing, it was the exact manifestation of what I had read previously about the Montessori classroom.

Each child was working on his/her particular little project (each with varied learning objectives), and there is strong evidence of self-directedness and enthusiasm in their learning.

For instance, take the little girl who was cleaning her table with such gusto that will put adults to shame.

For instance, the way they prepared and eat their morning tea break, so adult-like, mature and gentle.

For instance, how they put all their heart and mind into solving their little projects, like little scientists discovering some miracles.

I like what I see, am confident and assured of my decision to let my son continue learning in a Montessori environment.
