There’s lots of work to be done to close up our classrooms for the summer and the children are always part of the process. Care of the environment is an integral part of any Montessori programme and the children take great pride in it!

The 1000 chain is big work that requires much concentration and focus and gives the child a great sense of pride and accomplishment when completed.

The chain of 1000 golden beads is composed of 100 bars of 10. After the child counts and labels the first 10 beads, they continue to count and label the 10s until they reach 1000! Along the way the child places a 100 square above the chain every time they reach 100.

This piece of work teaches the child skip counting which is preparation for multiplication. It also indirectly prepares the child to understand cubing numbers.

Yesterday the elementary classes enjoyed the Kew Park Art Gallery! Each child chose three pieces from their art portfolio to showcase in the gallery and everyone loved seeing their own work on display and the work of their school mates. Even the casa classes checked out the beautiful works of art!

Our upper elementary class had a lovely day trip yesterday to the Niagara Region! They watched a huge ship move through Lock #3 of the Welland Canal, took a walking tour and picnicked in Niagara-on-the-Lake, learned about the battle at Queenston Heights in the War of 1812, made some winged friends at the Butterfly Conservatory, explored the Botanical Gardens and had a thrill getting drenched on a boat ride to the base of Niagara Falls. It was so great to get out on our first big excursion in two years and everyone had a blast!

Using real samples in botany studies is an effective way to engage the students and make a lesson more meaningful and memorable. Here the teacher recently used concrete examples in a study of the fruit. And the best part was eating the samples when the lesson was over!
