๐ Montessori Spotlight: Sandpaper Letters ๐
In our Montessori classroom, sandpaper letters play a key role in early literacy development! ๐ โจ These textured letters invite children to trace them with their fingers, engaging their sense of touch while connecting sounds to symbols. This hands-on approach builds muscle memory, strengthens fine motor skills, and lays the foundation for confident reading and writing.
Through multi-sensory learning, children develop a deep and lasting understanding of languageโone letter at a time! ๐ก๐

๐ข Montessori Spotlight: The Golden Beads โจ
Math comes to life with the Golden Bead Material, a hands-on way for children to explore the decimal system and place value! ๐
By physically holding units (1s), ten bars (10s), hundred squares (100s), and thousand cubes (1,000s), children develop a deep, concrete understanding of numbers before moving to abstract concepts. This material lays the foundation for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a way that is tangible, logical, and fun! ๐ฒ
Watching young learners grasp big math ideas with excitement is the magic of Montessori! ๐
Scott & Liz Smith are excited to announce that their fourth Montessori Preschool is now open in Goose Creek Preserve in beautiful Loudoun County.
