Writing our names
At BestStart Montessori School House, we encourage the children to recognise their names and it is the interests of the children that are encouraged if they would like to write their name. Throughout the day the children have the choice to sit quietly and practice the skills needed for when they start school. One friend is sitting at the table working alongside another friend and together they practice writing their names. The concentration needed to start at the beginning of their name and work through each letter takes real commitment. Particular attention is given to how each child is holding their pencil as they write in their books. These simple life skills help to prepare them for school.
