Nature Studies

Students in the Juniper Lower Elementary classroom are enjoying some special visitors to their classroom! They have silkworms in class to study this May. Students have been exploring the life cycle of these fascinating creatures and observing them in their "prepared environment"! Visiting Children's House full cycle students also got to see them on a visit to the classroom.


Children's House Visits

Students in their final year of the Children's House level (known in Montessori-speak as full cycles), got to visit Lower Elementary classrooms to get a glimpse of what the next level will bring. Michelle and Jessica enjoyed meeting all of them and were delighted when students recognized some familiar items. Students were intrigued to learn that there are new ways of working with some familiar materials in the elementary level.
