Instilling a love for the natural world in children and encouraging their own natural curiosity about the world in which we live. “The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.” Maria Montessori I am a teacher at a Montessori school. Children are encouraged to use their hands to explore by touching, feeling, and doing. In this activity they used red and yellow paint, flowers, and pinecones. I believe that if we want adults to have a reverence, a love and respect for the natural world then we have to give them the opportunity to explore it when they are very young. We have to teach them that “nature” isn’t a separate place but that we are all connected in one natural world and that when we care for our world we care for ourselves. ~ ~ ~ Nature notes Our world Tuesday Pictorial Tuesday .

Pretty photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat set of pics. I love the "Candid" shot.
ReplyDeleteThe green in that first shot looks just perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Love them all, though.
ReplyDeleteThe look up picture is beautiful, and I like the stuffed shot you captured as well. I had to look twice to make sure they weren't real.
ReplyDeletethe fresh green of the fern looks fantastic,
ReplyDeletelooks like a great spring walk in the forest.
The bathroom sign is a hoot! I missed getting a photo of the full moon this week, enjoyed yours. Not sure if the Candid is of a chicken or rooster, but it is an awesome shot! Enjoyed your take on this week's list.
