Montessori Primary Work Habits
Montessori Primary Work Habits
Work habits reflect students’ ability to manage classroom time effectively. The work habits will include, but is not limited to the degree by which a student is able to organize their materials, use classroom materials appropriately, stay on task, work independently when appropriate, work cooperatively with classmates when appropriate, submit work in timely manner, follow both written and oral directions, and actively participate in classroom content discussions/work. Children will learn to work independently, in small, collaborative groups, and as a whole class community. The logical, sequential nature of the environment guides discovery and stimulates both creative thinking and thoughtful analysis. The key to student work is the freedom to choose his/her own work. Freedom of choice helps students to take ownership of their own learning thus creating autonomy in the classroom.
