2. Finger practice in groups: Before class, we will do a little rhythm with the children. Regarding the finger exercises in the course content, the teacher asked the children to sit down one by one and keep quiet.
3. Grouping: We divide the children into three groups: A B C. Every day, several teachers give classes to the three groups, and the three classes take turns.
4. Grouping: The course duration of grouping is about 15-30 minutes, and finally the working hours are freely selected. Children will lay their own work blanket, then choose their favorite jobs and explore freely.

Teaching methods of Montessori education
1, prepare the environment
We have emphasized the importance of an environment suitable for children's life development more than once, so how to prepare an environment suitable for children's life development is listed as the primary condition in Montessori's teaching.
2. Find the will
Children's extroversion behavior is often a response to internal needs, especially in early childhood, when there is a special "sensitive period" for a certain demand at a certain stage. If we can grasp the needs of this period for education, the enlightenment effect on children will be twice the result with half the effort.
3. Willing to coordinate
The biggest difference between Montessori teachers and traditional teachers is that Montessori's role is not to "teach" students, but to coordinate teaching AIDS, children and willingness to learn. She must organize the environment according to children's needs, observe children's needs and wishes, and put forward appropriate teaching AIDS to let children "work".
4. Extend the working cycle
If the child has been absorbed in the "work" situation, the instructor should encourage him to continue to operate in order to "extend his work cycle" and let the child operate repeatedly as appropriate. Montessori said: "The purpose of extending the working cycle is to cultivate children's concentration and endurance." I believe that the "accuracy" of a child's future life development is directly proportional to his "concentration and endurance". Therefore, Montessori paid special attention to and told teachers to "wait" for children to practice repeatedly, and encouraged them to make children willing to "do it again", even dozens of times. Because children know how to use teaching AIDS, it is only the stage when the functions of teaching AIDS begin to appear. Only when children can operate teaching AIDS repeatedly can they have "real growth", which I call "willful development of mind" This kind of "repeated" operation will only happen when children feel the joy of "work" and can meet their "internal needs"
5. Observe-implement-record-research-discover-redesign the education plan according to your own needs and progress.
Due to the continuous growth of children and their individual differences and sensitive periods, teachers' educational planning needs to be constantly improved. Only through actual observation, recording and research can we deeply and effectively discover children's inner needs, and give appropriate education and guidance to make children's lives grow better.

Characteristics of Montessori teaching
1, Montessori teaching AIDS do not choose bright colors, but mainly simple and clean colors. Because of its educational significance, it is usually a single tone that highlights the real educational goal, that is, it has the characteristics of isolation. The ten pieces of wood in the pink tower are all pink.
2. Because the most important goal of teaching AIDS is to meet the inner needs of children, the size and dimension are only considered from the ability of children. For example, the largest part of the pink tower can be moved by children.
3. Every teaching aid has factors that can attract young children, such as the weight and color of pink tower wood; Or the rustling sound when scooping beans with a spoon.
4, the design of teaching AIDS, to provide a person with the operation as the main consideration.
5. The individual and combined use of each teaching aid can only be completed according to its steps and sequence. Moreover, whether in design or in use, it is from simple to complex. Its main purpose is to increase or decrease the steps to cultivate children's understanding and attention to order, and indirectly cultivate children's "internal discipline."
6. Each teaching aid has a direct and indirect educational purpose.
7. This design has the characteristics of error control, which enables children to find and correct their own mistakes. For example, there are ten pink towers, the smallest is a one-centimeter cube, and the largest is a ten-centimeter cube, so the biggest one is one centimeter away from the next big one. After piling up the tower, the child can pick up the smallest piece and measure the gap between the pieces. He will find that it is exactly one centimeter.
8. Cultivate children's logical and reasoning skills through steps and sequences.
