Volunteer watched Lviv Montessori School

For some time I attended the “Montessori” kindergarten- watched how the pedagogues worked there and handled with the children on my own, as well. The pedimplemented there. They have the originally intended methods and atmosphere there. The idea is, that the children teach themselves to topics like mathematics, physics, logic,... in a frame of structure and order with the help of the pedagogues. It is considered, that the children can play with “normal” toys and have the disordered world at home and outside, so that it is a different learning place for them by purpose.
The groups are small, so that they can work with single children.
They have groups for the ages of 1-3 and 4-6. The children come in different rhythms. As it happens there attend some children with special needs- like hyperactivity or mental disability. Therefore also a speech therapist and a psychologist work there with single children.
It was very interesting for me to watch the lessons of the speech therapist! Normally the Ukrainian children are afraid to go to the logopedist as to go to the dentist, because there are scary metal constructions used for their mouths. But this speech therapist worked with the children just with speaking.
