Ground Rules in a Montessori Classroom
The child is free to work with any material displayed in the classroom.
The child has the choice of working at a table or rug, whichever is most suitable for his/her work.
The child has the freedom to use the room as his/her needs dictate.
The child has the right to work undisturbed by others. Each child may initiate, complete, or repeat an exercise alone and without a break in the cycle of concentration.
The child has a right not to join a group activity. The child may continue working with individual exercises during a group activity, or may simply observe the group.
The child has a right to work alone. (He/She is welcome to ask another child to work together or to ask a teacher for help.)
