"We think 50,000 thoughts a day and 99% of them we thought yesterday."

As Montessori teachers, we must practice the great discipline of being present in the moment, not thinking through yesterday, or contemplating tomorrow. The gift of our presence, or mindfulness to the children we teach, is one of the most powerful things we can give them. Being present with them allows us to see who they are, understand where it is they are going, and grasp what it is they need. The students are always communicating with us. How often are we present in the moment to receive the message?
