MONTESSORI MANDARIN CLOUD CLASSROOM
A Global Montessori Parent-Child Cloud-Class | Difficulties are Always Our Stepping Stones

 

Theoretically Montessori is a physical-touch and face-to-face method to support children's development, however Corona-virus makes this impossible. Should we stop supporting our children to build their bright futures? Well...

 

Montessori Mandarin Cloud Classrooms provide the opportunity for children to learn anywhere. At the Beginner level children learn interactively alongside their parents. These are Teacher-Child-Parent interactive e-classes.

 

Activities are half adult led, and half the children's self-chosen activities, including repeatable activities and resources at home, to support children's independent thinking and learning in Chinese/Mandarin, and to cultivate children's independence. The cloud classes are carefully prepared to support independence in thought and action. Mandarin social interactions naturally occur around the practicalities of community living. Mutual respect, self-discipline and concentration arise spontaneously in an atmosphere of freedom, in a place and time where there are interesting things to do. ​
