Montessori work period

   

Today we had a first glimpse at our Montessori work period. While we're still setting you routines and expectations within our classroom, students had an opportunity to review lessons that they may be familiar with from last year. Students explored the Montessori bead bars, worked with tens frames, used the moveable alphabet to create their names, and explored the Montessori golden beads. Over the next couple of weeks we will continue to set up the expectations for our Montessori work period so all students can be successful and work to their full potential.


  
This afternoon we talked more about our Peace corner. As part of the Montessori Peace Education program, students have the opportunity to use the Peace corner in our classroom to help them resolve small conflicts amongst themselves and/or use it a space to practice mindfulness. Today we talked about what makes each of us feel peaceful. Hopefully this is something students can recall when they use our classroom Peace corner throughout the year.
