Welcome to Montessori Education Week

MNMN has partnered with "Inside Montessori" producers (and Montessori Moms), Jan Selby and Vina Kay, to offer a screening of their new feature-length documentary as the final event of Montessori Ed Week in Minnesota!
INSIDE MONTESSORI (formerly known as Building the Pink Tower) is a
documentary film that reframes the national education conversation toward
creating learning environments that allow children to achieve their full potential.
The proven, developmental and child-centered practices of Montessori
education can support ALL children, regardless of background and
learning style, in having the opportunities to flourish in learning and in life.

Tickets MUST be purchased in advance . There will be NO ticket sales at the door! Please print your receipt, or have access to your receipt, for admission to the screening.

Why should your school support MNMN at the State Fair?
|
"In 1915, Maria Montessori opened displayed a glass classroom at the San Francisco World's Fair to show the general public how miraculous a Montessori learning environment is. Each summer, we get to do the same thing--sort of-- at the Minnesota State Fair in the Education Building.
Hundreds of people visit the Montessori booth every day of the Fair. The booth is a magnet for children and their parents. Supporting this booth (both financially and by volunteering to work in it) allows you to hear stories of the impact of the Montessori pedagogy on sometimes, generations of families. And you see in the eyes of children, how attracted to the environment they are. It is also a great professional development experience."
-Lucinda Anderson, Lake Country School
