We’re excited to continue our Parent Education series and look forward to Freedom and Responsibility on Tuesday, March 12, beginning at 4:30 p.m. in Livia’s classroom.  Although this presentation will be geared toward Elementary parents/guardians, all parents are warmly welcome to attend! 

Elementary children are key players in building the system of justice in Montessori environments! Not only does this make them much more likely to manage themselves accordingly, but they are also much more likely to be able to implement it with each other without adult intervention. For Elementary-age children, a system of justice must be grounded in their collective experiences and requires a balance of freedoms and responsibilities. As with all components of learning, Montessori teachers provide a hands-on, visual representation that helps even very young children understand that a certain amount of freedom placed on one side of the balance, as pictured above, must have an equal amount of responsibility placed on the other side. Students come to understand that freedoms do not come without corresponding responsibilities!  We are excited to share more about this topic!
