SENSITIVE PERIOD FOR NUMBERS AND FOR COURTESIES

Sensitive period for numbers 

This is the time when we introduce the math curriculum is introduced in a Montessori classroom. Counting used to be a part of language and at this period they are interested in numbers as an entity and a separate type of language.

Sensitive period for understanding Manners and Courtesies

For children aged 3-6 there are grace and courtesy lessons in a Montessori classroom. For children aged 0-3 grace and courtesy is modeled by the adults. This entails the parents to be using their manners with the children and other adults that may be around.
