The children learn to work quietly and intently on their own "work." They are building concentration and self-discipline.
The Montessori classroom is a community. In the Montessori environment children work individually, in very small groups, or sit quietly observing.
The children work freely and when they complete their work, they return it to its place on the shelf.
