b'Practical Life The exercises of Practical Life provide the foundation for all other activities in the Montessori classroom, fulfilling the childs plea: Help me to do it myself! Through exercises in daily living, such as pouring and scrubbing, sewing and gardening, or practicing grace and courtesy, the child gains confidence and mastery of the environment. After individual skills are refined, children apply them in purposeful work, such as serving juice or polishing. Specifically, these activities contribute to the control and coordination of movement, development of concentration, and the self-esteemthat comes with making a real contribution to the group.PouringBasic Activities These pouring sets were developed by an experienced Montessori teacher for the basic pouring exercises.
