Montessori Materials

The children from Room 4 have been enjoying the use of materials in the classroom.  Returning students have been excited to reacquaint themselves with favorite projects, and new students are enjoying the discoveries of trying works for the first time.  We are learning the joy of intrinsic motivation and how to independently choose developmentally appropriate materials.

Independent work and concentration

Learning letters by their sound, rather than by name

Matching quantity to numeral

Matching the cylinders by sound

Self-expression with the Movable Alphabet

Learning how to snap

The joy of accomplishing something yourself, and cleaning your crocs

Concentrating on rolling an apron
