"The children are now working as if I do not exist."- Maria Montessori. It happened today, that moment when you realize how self-directed your students are becoming. The kids were doing their copywork. I looked up from my lesson planner to see that most of them had finished, and they had all gone and chosen independent work to do. No directions or reminders, they just got to work. We scrapped our plans for the moment and let them focus. It was beautiful.For more information on our programs PM or go to MindSprout.me #mindsprout #montessori #selfdirected #houstonhomeschooler #hybridschool #houstonhomeschool #springtx #thewoodlandstexas #houstonmom #montessoriathome #funlearning #learnthroughplay
