Mending Materials

Every year we make sure all the materials are in ship-shape. This year I repainted the brown stair and the pink tower. Since I work with these materials almost every day it is easy to forget just how awesome they are. As I was painting I really got to reflect on the materials and how they’re used in a Montessori classroom and how much the children learn from them. It was awesome to reconnect — like getting coffee with an old friend.
