POPLAR MONTESSORI

 These are materials which involve precise movements and allow the child to concentrate. They also involve the development of coordination, a sense of order and independence.  

 Children are immersed in the dynamics of language development through conversation, drawing, letter/sound work, de-coding, word building, phonetic writing, poetry, fiction and non-fiction; and reading and writing 

  The math materials beautifully materialize the abstract and provide visualization of the structure of our numeration system, i.e., quantity/symbol association, litany of count, the decimal system and numeral composition; and  the four processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division 

 Montessori education is an education for peace.  We introduce different continents, countries, clothing, art objects, stories, songs and different animals in order to familiarize the child with different cultures.  

 We learn about the natural world through seasonal changes and thematic units based on observations, identification, classification and shared love of nature

 Sensory education prepares for accurate perception of different details in the features of things and is the foundation of the child’s observational ability.  The materials include work with the different senses, i.e. gustatory, olfactory, visual, auditory, and tactile.
