[quote=Anonymous]My son is a typical 3 year old and has very little concentration. I was first worried about him not being able to find his own work, and completing tasks on his own. Now that we're halfway through the school year, I'm happy with my decision to stay with Montessori. While the teachers are always giving him "lessons" on different things, I noticed he picks up just as much from the older students. He'll watch the older kids work on numbers or letters, and he's absorbing it all. He came home asking me how to add, and his teachers said that was a topic they have not covered with him yet (too young), but it's something he observed from watching the other kids. My son still does not understand the concept of adding, but the fact that he's slowly taking things in tells me he's learning. I think he spends a lot of time observing others at school, but when he comes home, he's looking for a "project" of his own, and will creatively make one up for himself. He works independently at home for long stretches of time, and I really believe it's the Montessori experience that is fueling his desire to learn and "work" at home.[/quote]
