Atmosphere



"The instructions of the teacher consist then merely in a hint, a touch  - enough to give a start to the child. The rest develops itself. the children learn from one another and throw themselves into the work with enthusiasm and delight. This atmosphere of quiet activity develops a fellow-feeling, an attitude of mutual aid, and, most wonderful of all, an intelligent interest on the part of the older children in the progress of their little companions."

Maria Montessori, Dr Montessori's Own Handbook p59
