Inspire the mind. Empower the child. Transform your teaching.
This workshop, or series of classes, provides demonstrations of activities that help promote the development of intelligence. Through work with sensorial materials, children develop the ability to match and grade colors, sounds, textures, weights and shapes. Using practical life material, children learn basic care of themselves and their environment and to be contributing members of a group. The course covers the use of these materials in activities designed to develop independence, order, coordination and concentration.
