Using Puppets to Enhance Grace and Courtesy

Aleta Ledendecker

Grace and Courtesy lessons are the foundation of Peace Education in the Montessori environment. Relying on demonstrations and role playing to teach Grace and Courtesy can leave some children behind. Using puppets to enhance the experience for children can transform the early childhood classroom by increasing individual engagement and practice.
