earn how to observe, understand and support their child. Our classroom is divided into the following five areas:
Practical Life: These exercises act as a bridge between home and school. With child sized equipment, children learn to pour, tweeze, clean, wash, and dress themselves, with a view to becoming independent and responsible individuals. The activities increase dexterity and eye-hand coordination, develop the children’s self- esteem, increase self- confidence and their concentration span, which are all essential for future learning. Sensory: The specially designed and mathematically precise tactile materials help to develop the five senses and teach children to discriminate, match, contrast and grade with each of their senses, in order to gain a greater perception of their environment. The sensory materials offer an indirect preparation for mathematics and help create mental order. Language: Reading and Writing is introduced at an early age, by using the phonetic method. Children learn the sounds of letters imprinted as sandpaper characters, which develops a “muscular memory.” Our system does not require children to learn by rote but utilize all the senses to help them decode words and develop phonemic awareness. Children read and write with proper understanding, check their pronunciation, and spell accurately. Mathematics: Children are provided with concrete experiences where they are given objects to hold, count and manipulate, before being introduced to abstract concepts. At our class, children are introduced to counting up to and beyond 10, the decimal system, simple arithmetic computations. They are also introduced to the concepts of fraction, and etc. Cultural: These core subjects are fundamental to our environment and include history, science, geography, art, music and movement. We embrace multi- culturism in our class. At Sherry’s Montessori Community we offer:
