I have a Montessori work room which is set up for the children to work at their own pace. Everything in that room is age appropriate and each child may choose their own “work”. The works are what is out on the shelves available for them. As the teacher I am responsible for setting up the environment for the children. I am also there to guide them to an activity that will challenge them and help the child develop a new skill. Once they have had a “lesson” from me on this work then that child is allowed to work on that work independently. I also have a “play” room. This is where the children can play and explore on their own and learn through play. This environment is set up to be safe and developmentally appropriate for each child.
