This week the Lower Elementary students had an important Montessori lesson called the Clock of Eras. This lesson is a follow up to The Coming of the Universe lesson they had last week. The passage of time is presented both as a timeline and as a clock. We also had another key Montessori lesson called the Drama of the Archeozoic Ocean. Science experiments on solids, liquids and gases were conducted. In addition, we continue to start each day with a brief ceremony and class discussion focusing on important aspects of the Montessori learning environment such as freedom within limits, concentration and personal responsibility. During both our morning and afternoon worktimes the students are given both individual and group lessons. The lessons given in the Montessori classroom are cumulative; most lessons build on the previous lessons. For this reason please schedule vacations, doctors appointments and family gatherings after the school day. It is a joy to have your child with us each day.
