Celebrating Montessori Education Week!

Ever wondered about Montessori for the elementary years? ... Take a look at this overview:

Montessori: The Elementary Years Learn how the Montessori Elementary years—ages 6 through 12—prepare children intellectually, emotionally, and socially to navigate the next stage of their ed...

It’s shaping up to be another great year at the Pod! September was a month of building community, finding our rhythm, and laying the foundation for the semester ahead.

Before diving into our semester theme study—History & Simple Machines—we spent the month establishing and practicing first lessons and routines across our core subjects.

Using the Montessori Great Lessons (https://youtu.be/FScGG-1zDTg?si=DHzBEB3bOi-_5htr) as our springboard, students identified daily and weekly work choices that create a familiar rhythm and provide freedom within structure for practicing new concepts introduced in lessons.

In Language, journaling has served as a space to explore word study, sentence analysis, comprehension, grammar, and spelling. In Math and Geometry, students have been using command task cards and materials to independently reinforce their lesson skills. For Geography and History, we’ve started creating student atlases—personal compilations of maps, geography and history recordings completed throughout the year.

Students also organized their binders to store finished work across all subjects, fostering independence and responsibility. Handwork has been a fun highlight to our days, with students practicing a progression of weaving, sewing, building, crafting, gardening projects and care of environment routines. These practical life skills have naturally woven into our daily rhythms, bringing joy and focus to our work cycles.

Happy 155th birthday, Dr. Maria Montessori! 🎉

Today we celebrate the 155th birthday of Dr. Maria Montessori, innovator, physician, and educator, whose vision continues to inspire Montessori schools worldwide.

Her legacy reminds us to honor the boundless potential of every child.

We are forever grateful for the gift of her philosophy and its impact on generations of children.
