Just out of curiosity…I thought Montessori environments were not supposed to have anything on the walls (from what I understand from what Uma had once told me)…saying it could be distracting for the children…is that true?

UTBT SAYS: Yes and No. A lot has to do with the AMS training vs AMI training. One is strict to the T and the other looks at the philosophy and expects a well balanced individual to have their own interpretation of the philosophy with the best interest of the child in their mind. Each are clearly defined systems, having their own merits.

@ school we do have art work that connects to children like their own art work or their pictures at their eye level. From experience it makes the center environment homey. We also have miniature art pieces to inspire and model. These art works are rotated on a per quarter basis so that children don’t get bored and they don’t stop looking.

That is so awesome. the way she interpreted it and came up with her own. Amazing!

UTBT SAYS: I was mighty impressed too. Actually the Kandinsky had been hanging there for dogs years and I looked at it only after she told me about it.
