Additional comments:
|
The Montessori philosophy
states that the mind is taught by the student’s hand as well as the surrounding
environment.What better way for students
to learn about the natural world than to be in it during class time.What
better way to raise a population of citizens with stewardship toward the
natural world than to have them taught by Nature herself.
