BIRD's EYE VIEW OF THE YEAR
- Our Peaceful Classroom (grace and courtesy) Introducing students to our school.
- We will spend a bit of time learning all about the Montessori classroom: introducing students to all the Montessori materials in the school. Creating a working atmosphere.
- Once the students are normalized in the classroom we will be able to expand our study to the world around us:
- The Universe and our Solar System (the great lessons)
- North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. We will focus on Asia
- Botany: going on leaf walks, disecting flowers, studying different types of leaves.
- Zoology: vertebrates, and invertebrates, mammals and non-mammals, amphibians and reptiles, mollusks and crustaceans, insects and arachnids.
