We introduced the Montessori bells this week! I needed to do quite a big re-arrange of the room to make room for this work and I will post pictures of the new layout soon!
We had our first lesson which was to put on the gloves, carefully select a bell and bring it to the “bell table”, and then strike the bell with the mallet. We listened until the sound faded away, and I watched with delight as the children emulated my careful listening by bending their heads near to the bell while listening!
This little guy (2yrs 8mos) is demonstrating wonderful control with the bells for such a small one!
Here is the area where I placed the bells. Right now I only put out the major scale bells and controls. I have enough space to put out the entire set, but that will come later!
