Goals of the first, second, third plane of development
On page 5 of Montessori Today, it says that "Montessori discovered that 3 things happen in each plane of development." One being, each has a specific goal in development. What do we feel is /are the goals in each plane?
I believe that the main goal of the 3-6 (primary years) is to help the child in the "development of self." Children at this age are exploring all that is a part of themselves.
I believe that one goal of the second plane of development is for children to take in new information and make connections with what they already know. Another goal is to ignite the imagination, through which children will learn from.
Another thought is for the upper elementary, 9-12. The goal for this age I believe is to have the children balance the idea of freedom and responsibility chapter 7 pg. 98.
