Elementary
A hands-on introduction to the Montessori method, built for kids to actually do, not just for moms to read. Real sample lessons in practical life, grace and courtesy, storytelling, cultural studies, sensorial exploration, language, and math, written for both younger and older elementary children.
Each lesson type includes a short “how it works” note for you, then a sample lesson for ages 6 to 8 and another for ages 9 to 11, so you can see how the same kind of lesson grows with a child over the years.
What’s included:
– A short introduction to the Montessori philosophy and the elementary “second plane” of development
– Practical life activities for two age groups, with room to reflect
– A grace and courtesy role-play lesson
– An original Great-Lessons-style story about the Sun and Earth, plus response pages
– Cultural studies nature observation questions and a drawing page
