SOMEONE I ADMIRE

Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, she was an Italian doctor and educator, she studied medicine at the University of Rome La Sapienza and graduated with honors, Maria started working with disabled children, but she did not put into practice the traditional teaching methods herself He decided to observe the children to understand how they learned, in that school the children could walk freely and choose the activity that they liked the most.

That is how María decided to open a school to educate all kinds of children, that school was called La Casa de los Niños, for that school María invented child-size furniture, small chairs for children to move easily everything so that they could do things without asking adults for help, Maria created many things to encourage children to discover the world in a practical and independent way, children must learn to be self-sufficient, said Maria.

I admire Maria Montessori because with her effort I created an education method that is still used not only in schools but also at home, this method helps us children to grow up strong, free and independent, it was a A practice that occurred to her at one point but was implemented and has lasted for many years, Maria's way of thinking has changed the lives of many children in the world.
