Hi Friends,
I am new member to this group and glad to join with you all.
It is called a Montessori program where kids learn themselves with
very less help from teachers. No forcing the kids and they can learn
which ever they are very much interested to.
My daughter would be the best example. For a 5 year old, I tried to
show her and taught her the globe, but took long time for me to
teach her. Instead in her school, they are tracing the countries,
and then cutting it and push pin in the Atlas. Since she is doing
everything by herself, she is coming and teaching me many countries
and its details now. She is very proud that, she did it by herself.
Same way, she is learning maths, banking ,shapes, in/vertbrates,
mammals, hand craft working like making necklace, bracelets for her
age group.... many things i can list it her.
Main thing i should tell that, there won't be ranking or comparing
between others. This will bring more positive attitude for kids from
the beginning.
Thanks
Guna
