Celebrating Montessori Week: Remembering the Past of Education, and Shaping the Future! The week of February 24March 2 celebrates Montessori Week and marks the 110th anniversary of Montessori education. It is a time to come together to celebrate and recognize the amazing contributions of Dr. Maria Montessori in the lives of children around the world. Ahead of her time, Maria Montessori has had a greater impact on education than most people realize. Have you ever been invite...d to a first-grade classroom and wondered how it would be possible to sit at that small table on an even smaller chair? You can thank Maria Montessori for developing child-size furniture to address the physical needs of children. Prior to Montessori’s intervention, children had to use over sized, adult furniture. Another outstanding contribution was Montessori’s didactic materials. She understood the importance of the hand-brain connection and developed materials to stimulate the senses and provide the brain with a concrete understanding of abstract concepts. She refused to call her materials toys. Learning is not play; it is real work!

Thank you Dr. King, enjoy the long weekend!
