This week I would like to focus on free printables which teach children to tell time and the concept of time. Comprehending the concept of time is a process that comes to children naturally as they grow. Clocks and watches become an essential part of their day, they observe morning changing into the afternoon and into the evening, they observe seasons and they wait with excitement to celebrate their birthdays which they know comes once a year. When celebrating a birthday in the Montessori classroom the child gets the understanding of time thought celebration of life. He carries a glob around the circle while the rest of the group sings the Montessori birthday song. Every classroom tends to create their own version of birthday celebration.
Here are two great examples of birthday celebrations in the Montessori classroom!
