Information Processing

How do I process information? I process information through repetition and when I find connections and relevance to what I am trying to learn. Well, that is how children learn too. When the material becomes relevant to children and when they are exposed to it more than once then they process the information. One of the things I love about being a Montessori teacher is my classroom because the works on the shelves allow my students to review and repeat works as many times as they want so that they can learn it. My students can go back and review work from 4th grade as fifth graders because the language tower/grammar tower work is on the shelf readily available to them. I have observed my students go back to those works and teach other peers those lessons that they have mastered from the past. I believe it gives them a sense of success and makes them comfortable.
