Our school is a public Montessori school and we are blessed to teach by the Montessori pedagogy. My classroom is full of children ages 3-6 who are eager to arrive and learn, socialize and grow. Our Montessori classroom radiates harmony and respect, and the students work together as stewards of their environment. They take turns caring for classroom pets and plants; do their part to maintain order, such as by returning materials to the shelves after use; and help keep the tables clean and pencils sharpened.
"It begins with a knowledge of his surrounding" -Maria Montessori.
I am requesting staplers and pony beads and colored pencils. Some of our classroom "office supplies" are breaking (like, our staplers) and there are some additional supplies that we need (like, allen wrenches for fixing broken things; and pony beads and pipe cleaners for pincer grip development). Colored pencils and staplers are always in high demand so students can work on art and other projects, and it's helpful when they are located in several locations around the room; and kite paper (fancy tissue paper) is used to create window art.
The most exciting items on this list are the materials to stain the Continent Boxes. The food coloring mixed with a bit of rubbing alcohol will create gorgeous colored stains that will match the colors on the Continent Map (so so excited about this!!).
