When I Think of Child Development...

"Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment."                                       Maria Montessori





I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tory for all her support and her willingness to share information with us. Thanks Tory!

Also, a note of thanks to Julie! She always seemed to know which questions to ask that would spark further research of the topic! Way to keep us thinking outside of the box!

    Hi Deb,
    Thanks for your quote. I do want to thank you also for your great contributions to our discussions. You challenged my thinking when we talked about Special Education and made me really think hard on my position and opinion on the subject. You seem really passionate about Education and it shows through your work in this class.

    Deb,

    This is one of my favorite quotes about children and education. Few words speak high volumes. It is my hope that teachers, parents, and caregivers understand that is truly is about exposure and experiences. Great pick!
