ALL KINDS OF GOING OUTS
An important skill for children to develop is the ability to apply things they've learned to new situations. These "transferable skills" are key for critical thinking, problem solving, and so many of the soft skills that are valuable in our lives. In Montessori, one of the ways that students develop these skills is in "Going Outs" and those can happen in many different ways.
Throughout the school year, students in Upper Elementary and Adolescent classes, venture off campus to extend their learning in exciting ways, such as visiting Southwestern University to learn about Chinese language. Other times, the Going Outs are for community service, such as when Nova students help out at Simple Sparrow farm.
For younger students, Going Out means exploring our campus and having learning experiences outside of their familiar classroom. While they don't venture off campus, they still have opportunities to apply things they are learning about in class in another setting. They also get ideas and inspiration to take back to class with them!
This April & May, elementary and adolescent students will be Going Out on overnight trips with their guides and classmates. While generally a lot of fun happens, these camping trips also challenge children in some big new ways.
Last but not least, some of the Nova Adolescent students will head out for a super big Going Out the last week of April. They will be going to Rome for the Montessori Model United Nations conference. As you can imagine, the MMUN experience has challenged those students to bring all of what they know as well as some new things they've learned along the way. We are so proud of these students and the determination, poise, and creative thinking they have shown as they prepare for this conference.
