August 31st, 2017 the Pre Primary section of City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar 1 organized the birthday of the Dr.Maria Montessori. It was one an indigenous idea to commemorate the person on whose ideologies the children are taught and from where we derive our name “Montessori”.
We were extremely lucky to have amongst us Dr.Mrs.Bharti Gandhi as the guest of honour, and Principal Mrs. Abha Anant as a witness to this unique celebration.
The day unfolded with a rigorous physical exercise session followed by regular assembly by the children of Kindergarten, later there was a skit demonstrating the importance of Montessori Method. A brief introduction and a glimpse of the life and teachings of Dr.Montessori were presented as well. A multimedia highlighting the activities of the preprimary section made Ma’am Gandhi appreciate the endeavours of the teachers.
Later an extempore performance on the recently introduced Fitzroy method was also done by the Kindergarten students. A demonstration of the 10 Montessori Apparatus (Pink Tower, Brown Stairs, Spindle box, Seguin board, Geometrical solids, shapes, constructive triangles, red and blue rods, fabric box and colour tablet) was put up as well.
Finally Ma’am Gandhi took a brief round of the various classes and devoted some quality time with the tiny toddlers who are also proud CMS students.
