IMSP Joins Roots & Shoots Program in Czechia!

We are thrilled to announce that IMSP has officially joined the Roots & Shoots program in Czechia! This exciting collaboration, led by our dedicated team member, Irena Andělová, marks a significant new chapter in our school’s commitment to nurturing confident, compassionate, and engaged global citizens.

By joining this global movement, our students will have the unique opportunity to actively contribute to making a positive impact in their communities and the world at large. Roots & Shoots, founded by renowned primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall, is a youth-driven program that fosters a sense of responsibility and leadership in young people. It encourages them to identify and address environmental, humanitarian, and conservation issues.

We are excited to collaborate with the Roots & Shoots Global team in the Czech Republic. This collaboration will equip our students with the knowledge and passion necessary to create a sustainable future. Through hands-on projects and community service, our students will learn valuable skills and develop a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our world.

We are also delighted to announce the opening of our school greenhouse! This significant milestone has been in the making for several years and we are so excited to unveil this new space where our students will learn about plant cultivation, eco-friendly practices, and the importance of nature. The greenhouse will serve as a living classroom, providing our students with invaluable, practical experiences in growing and nurturing plants.

Communicating with the Toddler Child

As teachers, we are often asked what special tips or tricks we use to get children to cooperate. Most often parents ask questions like “How can I get my child more interested in dressing and eating by themselves?”or “How can we make the mornings run more smoothly?” It can feel challenging when our patience is tested, but we must remember that children are learning to develop their own will and sense of obedience which is a natural process lasting until around six years of age.

Future of Education

Radka Dohnalova, a parent of three IMSP children, has been researching the future of education in this world. She has summarized her findings in the article below, which was also recently published.

PEACE EDUCATION

It is no secret that Dr. Maria Montessori is known for her strong advocacy of peace education and how it relates to an essential yet often “invisible” component of the Montessori Method – Grace and Courtesy. Her vision to help all children to feel safe and cared for while preparing them for adulthood is the very foundation of Peace Education in every Montessori classroom, aimed to help cultivate empathy and kindness.

Montessori Sensorial Materials Lead to Sensory Awareness

The materials in the Sensorial area of the Montessori classroom are quite unique – they speak to the tactile observer in all of us.
