Montessori: The Three Period Lesson - Getting it Right!

[@LeahLynn-uf3cv]

It’s interesting how every training center (AMS, AMI, CMI) teaches just a little bit different one from another and yet so often we think that our way is the “right way”. Due to my personal bias I prefer the language I was trained to use. “Please say ‘blue’”, instead of “Can you say blue?”, “What is this?” Instead of “Can I ask you to tell me what this is?” It is more clear and concise and less confusing . I was also trained to say “thank you” to the child after each time they respond to my request. I thank the child rather than saying what kind of job they’ve done or if they’ve gotten it right. I appreciate the effort put into these training videos. Some of the advice is sure to help teachers and parents.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

I agree, it's fascinating how AMS, AMI, and CMI each have their own unique approaches. Your preference for using clear and concise language, like "Please say 'blue'" instead of "Can you say blue?" makes a lot of sense-it can definitely be less confusing for children. I also think thanking children for their responses rather than evaluating their performance aligns well with the Montessori principle of respecting the child’s effort. These training videos indeed provide valuable insights that can be beneficial for both teachers and parents. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I had a conversation with my AMI trainer, we try not to overuse ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ during lessons. Otherwise, these phrases can become the most frequent words instead of the key vocabulary we want to focus on. The goal is to keep the lesson short, sweet, and centered on the specific words we’re introducing

the three period lesson: 1st Period: "Naming" show the student the objects separately, do not present more than three objects, bring each object to the center of your display place then say the name of this object, ask the student to repeat the name after you, then return it. 2nd Period: "Recognition and Association" take the objects to the center of your display place, politely, ask the student to show you the last object you've presented at the last period, then do the same for the other objects one after the other, repeat with another prompt like can you give me? "IT IS IMPORTANT TO LET THE STUDENT TOUCH THE OBJECTS AT THE SECOND PERIOD, AS THIS MAKES YOUR INFORMATION RESONATE MORE" this time but back the object that the student 've answered correctly. 3rd Period: "Recall" start bringing the last object you put aside previously to the center of your workplace, ask him, what is this? after he answers say thank you, then but it back, repeat with the other objects separately. Finally, bring the three objects to the center, remind the child that you taught him three objects today, let's see if you remember, point to each one, then let the student say the object's name. If the student missed, you can go back and repeat the previous period. Always ask your student if they like to learn this lesson. If you want to teach some vocabulary related to a certain lesson, only do this after the child had mastered this lesson. never teach more than three words at a time. Keep reviewing what you 've teach. you can be creative about this

Thank you for sharing this detailed breakdown of the Three Period Lesson! It's a fundamental Montessori technique that helps children internalize and master new vocabulary or concepts at their own pace. Your explanation is clear and thorough, making it easy for others to understand how to implement this method effectively. Always remembering to ask the child if they want to learn and keeping the lessons simple and focused on just a few words at a time are key points that ensure a positive and successful learning experience. Thanks again for this great contribution!

Hi Susan! Thanks for watching. When our child is not ready, we just let it go and wait for another moment to 'offer' a lesson. We need to try and make it as exciting as possible.

Mam Could help me to build English vocabulary for daily use words.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Absolutely, I'd be delighted to help you build English vocabulary tailored for preschool use, utilizing the Montessori 3-period lesson approach. This method is perfect for introducing young learners to new words in a structured and memorable way. Here are some categories and examples of words that are commonly used and relevant in a preschool setting: Colors: Red Blue Yellow Green Orange Purple Shapes: Circle Square Triangle Rectangle Star Heart Animals: Cat Dog Bird Fish Elephant Lion Body Parts: Hand Foot Eye Ear Mouth Nose Numbers (One to Ten): One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Nature: Sun Moon Tree Flower Rock Leaf Introducing these words through the Montessori 3-period lesson will help in effectively building a foundational vocabulary for preschoolers. Practice each word by showing the object or picture (introduction), asking the child to identify it among others (recognition), and finally asking the child to name it independently (recall). This method not only enhances vocabulary but also aids in cognitive development and language skills. I hope these suggestions help, and I look forward to providing more resources and ideas to support your educational journey. If you have any specific areas or themes you're interested in, please let me know. Your engagement and dedication to early childhood education are truly inspiring. Thank you for being a part of our community!

[@insinfull3745]

I notice you don't say anything when she gets it right. Are you not supposed to even let the child know they've got it right. I switched from saying good job or well done to yes you did it and you got it right.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

If the child needs a reaffirmation you can tell them - that's correct. Bu normally they don't need it

This year.I just opened the school by montessori.and I'm still confuse how to teach reading. I don't know much the step

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Congratulations on opening your new Montessori school! It's a significant step and a wonderful journey you've embarked upon. Teaching reading in the Montessori way can initially seem challenging, but with the right approach and understanding, it becomes a fulfilling experience. In Montessori education, we focus on a step-by-step approach to reading, starting with phonetic awareness, moving to blending sounds, and gradually introducing more complex reading skills. It's all about providing the right materials at the right time and allowing each child to progress at their own pace. Don't worry if you're still feeling a bit uncertain - it's a learning process for educators as well. I would recommend starting with some foundational Montessori reading materials and guides. Additionally, keep an eye on our upcoming videos, as we plan to cover this topic in more detail to assist new Montessori educators like yourself. Remember, every Montessori journey begins with a single step. You're doing a great job, and with time and experience, your confidence in teaching reading will grow. Best of luck, and feel free to reach out if you have specific questions along the way! 😊

Thank you so much for this video mam but the thing is my English is too low 😢i can understand but can't speak properly 😢

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thank you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts. It's great to hear that you found it helpful, and I understand your concerns about language proficiency. Remember, language skills, just like any other skill, can be improved over time with practice and patience. In the meantime, consider utilizing subtitles if they're available, as they can be a useful tool in understanding and learning the language better. Also, don't hesitate to ask if you need any clarifications or explanations in simpler terms. We're here to support your learning journey, no matter where you are starting from. Your determination to learn despite language barriers is admirable. Keep pushing forward, and you'll find your confidence in speaking English improving gradually. Thank you for your courage in expressing your concerns, and please know that you have our full support. 😊
