Montessori Lessons

We started the New Year with Montessori’s Fifth Great Lesson, "The Story of Numbers". The children were presented with historical perspective about how numbers came about and what people used to count before the Arabic numerals were in use.
Children have the opportunity to make charts about these types of counting systems: Malaya, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese and Roman.

We are continuing our studies in biology, geography, language arts, reading, art and mathematics. Our field trips will tie in with our studies.
