Spirit Play

Spirit Play is an RE model based on the Montessori teaching method. The Spirit Play classroom is set-up with different works presented in baskets on shelves. The lead teacher begins by telling a story to the class – stories are related to our promises (principles), heritage, and liturgy. Children will then choose their work, either re-telling a story with the manipulatives or working on a self-guided art project
