Dr. Montessori did not only develop amazing materials for child use but she also believed that society, family and teachers should strive to introduce religious concepts in child’s life; since young children also absorb the church, temple, Mosque and other religion ceremonies. Recently, all over Thailand we celebrated the “Wan Khao Pan saa” festival – meaning rain retreat or Buddhist lent day. The school children marched to their local temples to mark the procession. The celebrations were obviously at our Montessori classrooms as the children showed their dance movements and participated by carrying candles, and some modeled out as Monks to mark this colorful event.
