A manual in words and pictures on the basic holistic educational concept of Maria Montessori!
Manual for a holistic way of learning within elementary education This fourth volume of our
handbook series for kindergarten preschool and primary school explains to educators and
teachers the universal curriculum that Maria Montessori has developed as a valid and effective
one. The children must be offered a broad field of education with their questions about what
why and where all things come from. They should understand the world with astonishment not
just learn to classify it. Emotions play a major role in this. The explorations and classic
materials of cosmic education are shown in meaningful colour photos. Explanatory texts show
what experiences children can have through natural experiences cosmic stories and experiments.
Even without specific knowledge of Montessori the exercises and their effects are very easy to
understand. With many game ideas and important activities in the elementary area to discover
the world and its connections. The translator: Penny Mantz
