Today’s telling story is for our great teacher Anetka Hřavová.

The book is about Maria Montessori, who decided to be a doctor. She was the first woman in Italy to go to medical school. She worked with children who had learning disabilities. Maria proved that all children could become their own teachers, if they were given engaging activities and freedom to explore.

Maria transformed the education system, the legacy of her work continues today in Montessori schools around the world.
