Turkey Creek Montessori

Our favorite time of the year! The sun is out and the water tables are open!! ❤️❤️

Busy little bees 🐝❤️

The cards and counters... “Odd and Even”.
This little guy is able to visually see what makes a number odd and what makes a number even. When a numeral has a counter that stands alone without a partner, it’s odd. If the last counter has a friend, it’s even.
Just another material Dr. Montessori developed to concretely teach such an abstract concept.

As we all begin to navigate our new norm, let us not forget the children.
Turkey Creek Montessori is now accepting applications for the 2020/2021 school year.

The sun is shining! We watched a family of squirrels interact this morning during work time. Now, as the littles sleep inside, the big kids and I are out enjoying nature! If only the mosquitos would go away.

We've had a busy first week of 2020! The children have settled back in and are excited to begin our unit on the solar system!!

Exploring color mixing!

Late Post... Halloween pumpkin patch fun🧡🖤🧡🖤

* Gathering quantities and matching them to numerals. This child loves to count by 10's! Once he gathered quantities to 90, He wanted to know what happened to 100. I was able to get a hundred square and show him that 10 10s makes 100!! The Golden bead material is my all time favorite. More to come!!
I love how the Montessori method of teaching allows children to be challenged no matter what level they're at.

Afternoon snack.... Straight from the garden!❤️
