The people around them are an inexhaustible source of interest. Initially those present and tangible, and as their sense of time, their capacity for abstraction and their imagination develop, also the doings, the comings and going, the ventures and adventures of people past will fascinate them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIndeed, it is as love of his environment that we may envisage the irresistible urge which, throughout the sensitive periods, unites the child to things. It is not love in the sense that it is commonly understood as an emotional feeling but a love of the intelligence which sees and assimilates and builds itself through loving.\u201d (Maria Montessori, The Secret of Childhood)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything offered to the children in the Casa dei Bambini must take into account the children\u2019s passionate and vital interest in their environment. History is introduced simply in the form of illustrated legends of human life through the ages rather than presented as a subject. It is interwoven into the fabric of the environment. History is present in stories, by others, and our own. All true stories are history. Even an account of an event that occurred as short a time as half an hour before is an embryonic bit of history: \u201cThis morning when I was coming to school \u2026\u201d. \u201cWhen I was a little girl \u2026\u201d \u201cWhen my father was a little boy\u201d \u201cLong, long ago when my grandfather was a young man \u2026\u201d Family tales each into the past and they are history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History is present in music, the language of the spirit of place and time. Without music history is mure and dry. History is present in art and artefact. Environments should have assets of choice and beautiful art cards, books on art and architecture, reproductions of great paintings on the walls \u2013 few and far between, given the place and space that they deserve. Objects used in the environment can and should have historical value. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When books are read, the name of the authors, their country of origin (for history and geography are inseparable) and when they lived should be mentioned. When music is played, again, the name, country and times of the composer are to be given.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a knowledgeable Montessorian once said, the child in the Casa dei Bambini is fundamentally interested in fact, language and sensorial exploration. Not to be forgotten is the child\/s affective response to fact, language and sensorial exploration. If a child has touched and been delighted by silken fabrics in fabrics boxes, itt will look upon the silk stocking of Ingres\u2019 Napoleon with delight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As human beings, we love the history of our kind and that of other species; the history of our earth and that of our universe. Children\u2019s pristine humanity is most avidly receptive and will thrive on the story of mankind if it is gently told, with absolute conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AMI Communications &#8211; 2002\/1, page 34-25<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is History introduced in the Children\u2019s House?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categorii-resurse-educationale":[46,49],"class_list":["post-9023","resurse-edu","type-resurse-edu","status-publish","hentry","categorii-resurse-educationale-all","categorii-resurse-educationale-q-a-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
