A job at an art school.

I have now finished working at the Madison Montessori School in Madison, NJ. I liked volunteering at the school: the children were cute and their work was interesting. What I liked the most however, was to see what they had in their lunchboxes. It really tells a lot about the child's family.

In montessori schools, you want the children to learn by doing. They can pick anything they want to do, and usually you don't help them that much. You let them solve their own problems in other words. They also work a lot with how you treat other people, and in my opinion the children were kinder and more polite than the Finnish children I've met.

Each week, we studied art and litterature from one of the continents in the world.  During my three weeks at the school we got to know South America, Europe and Asia. I don't think working in a school like MMS is what I would like to do in the future, but it certainly was an interesting experience.

Har du sett filmen om Maria Montessori? eller var det en dokumentär..

Men ändå, jag såg den då den kom från Teema nångång och blev helt tagen. wooow.

kopplade ihop dokumentären med din skola först efter att ha läst den där skylten om hennes idéer.
