Trillium Montessori Talks

In the Montessori classroom, we’re equipped with tons of engaging materials to foster curiosity in our students. Some of the most useful (and underappreciated) materials at our disposal are the History Question Charts. But how do you introduce them to your students, and how can you encourage students to explore them on their own?

In this episode, we’re sharing our tips for introducing and using the History Question Charts in your Montessori classroom. We’re discussing different ways you can use the charts during lessons and how to engage elementary students with stories. Plus, we’re sharing a few ways you can inspire curiosity and encourage your students to explore areas of history that personally interest them.
