Practical life includes activities such as buttoning, sweeping, pouring, slicing, tying, etc. Sensorial includes activities to stimulate and train hearing, touch, smell, and taste. (from the wikipedia definition)<BR/><BR/>I recommend reading the middle section of the montessori definition at wikipedia, here's the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori" REL="nofollow">link</A>.<BR/><BR/>From practical experience, children recieve highly customized education that results in strong interpersonal skills, rapid learning at a pace comfortable to the child, a strong sense of intellectual curiousity and a very real and very rapid mastery of basic life skills.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>makingourway<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>makingourwaymakingourwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748811641577990850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23550078.post-1158258601136809232006-09-14T13:30:00.000-05:002006-09-14T13:30:00.000-05:00Maybe im missing something -but what is Montessori...Maybe im missing something -but what is Montessori school?2millionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168782327023590235noreply@blogger.com
