Montessori Lessons – A Glimpse

We are enjoying the early spring feeling of the lower desert. The first year students are investigating different kinds of veins in leaves outside and the important job of all the leaves of plants. We had leaves for lunch last week too.

Second year students are continuing their study of the earth with the hottest and coldest time of the day. You can try it out at home by putting a large rock in the sun in the morning and feeling it throughout the day….
They are also learning about the imaginary lines that encircle the earth and why we say AM and PM.

The oldest children are working collaboratively and duplicating The Second Timeline of Human Beings. Each student is doing research on an historical portion of the timeline. They are preparing their research to present as a play to the class.
