The world is big place! My students do not all have the opportunity to travel the world. I would like to bring map puzzles, reading series & other Montessori geography materials to bring a world of knowledge to my students right in our classroom! A healthy knowledge of our planet is so important!
My class is a combination of 23 very lively and creative pre-k and kindergarten students.
We are part of a public Montessori school where the children work individually or with partners using the materials in the room. We are a mix of different cultures and backgrounds and we learn in different ways, too. We are located in Savannah, Ga near Hunter Army Airfield and our school serves military families as well as many other families from around our beautiful city.
My Project
Montessori classrooms are very different from traditional classrooms. My students learn quickly to be independent learners. We work in different areas throughout the classroom. We do not have assigned seats because movement is healthy and important for children. Some students choose to work at tables and others like to work on the floor. That is why we are requesting Montessori organizational boxes and trays that will make it easy to move our work and materials from place to place.
Montessori classes put a lot of focus on learning about our world both from the scientific and cultural aspects. My students enjoy learning about the continents and the people and animals that call them home. I know my students will enjoy the and puzzle maps enormously! The biome materials will help us gain understanding of the various habitats and the Pink reading series will help my students grasp reading about their world in an easy and understandable way.
It takes a long time to build the points for this special request to order Montessori materials.
I love my Montessori classroom and the healthy independence it gives my students. Thank you for helping us bring valuable Montessori tools to my students. Maria says, "Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment." I am so excited about this Montessori project. Thank you!
