Role of a teacher/As a teacher.....<br />

It has been a successful and joyous 17 years<br />

working with children in the age group of 2-1/2 to 11<br />

years.<br />

I have no idea why I chose to be a Montessori<br />

educator, but being a Montessori teacher is no small<br />

task. It requires a lot of effort from you. Is it worth<br />

it? Yes, very much so. You will find yourself as<br />

changed by the Montessori method as the children;<br />

and together, we’ll be able to change the world.<br />

Montessori Method has helped me to understand<br />

myself and the children year after year, and it is still<br />

an ongoing process. Learning and unlearning happens<br />

all the time along with the children.<br />

Personally, I do not believe that education is all about<br />

marks. Teaching should be life oriented. I firmly<br />

believe a good teacher should have a legacy to leave<br />

behind. Legacy in the form of successful students,<br />

who are lifelong learners, are an asset to the society.<br />

They should take the lead in shaping students not<br />

only for academic pursuit, but for life.<br />

Maria Montessori said early in her work: “The<br />

education of teachers who are able to kindle flames<br />

rather than just fill vessels is not easy.” The<br />

Montessori method is philosophically different from<br />

other educational methods, and also very different<br />

from the personal educational background of most<br />

adults who become Montessori teachers. Montessori<br />

education has worked all over the world, with all<br />

kinds of children and environments. And at<br />

Anweshana Montessori, we believe that it’s not the<br />

richness of the environment that determines the<br />

success of the Montessori method, but the passion<br />

and dedication of one and all as a community.<br />

Garage Sale<br />

We had a garage sale on Saturday 8th December<br />

2018 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Primary parents<br />

were invited to the sale.<br />

We had to bring e-waste, broken plastic toys, books<br />

we don’t read and toys we don’t play with anymore.<br />

The broken toys and e-waste were sent to recycle<br />

centers while the toys and books were sold to the<br />

parents who came to the sale.<br />

We did this to spread the awareness of how to reduce<br />

waste by exchanging toys books etc. I bought a book<br />

(Best joke Book) of which the original price was<br />

Rs150 but as it was second hand I got it for Rs 70. I<br />

also bought a car for my younger brother.<br />

We raised around Rs 14,000 in the garage sale and<br />

Anweshana used this money to clean the streets<br />

around the school. The leftover books and toys were<br />

given to the orphanages.<br />
