Montessori learning is all about using children using their senses to understand their world and create mental foundations for organizing knowledge. The fine motor activities I have requested will keep students engaged and help them learn to distinguish, grade and classify the objects in their world. The hands on science materials will allow students to physically manipulate objects to develop both conceptual and procedural knowledge of how our world works. As Maria Montessori wrote: "It is through appropriate work and activities that the character of the child is transformed. Work influences his development in the same way that food revives the vigor of a starving man. We observe that a child occupied with matters that awaken his interest seems to blossom, to expand, evincing undreamed of character traits; his abilities give him great satisfaction, and he smiles with a sweet and joyous smile." (San Remo Lectures, p. 28)
