Art in Primary Classroom

Art is one of the many ways children express themselves. Art is a way for children to communicate their feelings. It is through art that children develop their fine motor skills. In the Montessori environment, we provide open-ended art activities that help children explore and use their creativity.Art, along with all areas of the classroom, gives children a solid foundation for future growth. 

Through art, they are exploring, creating, expressing, and developing self.

Sensorial Materials in our Classroom

Sensorial curriculum plays an essential role in indirectly preparing the child's mathematical mind.Sensorial materials help to bring order to the many sense impressions in a child's world. As they explore and manipulate the concrete materials, children's powers of observation, judgment, and reason develop. Mathematical concepts are unconsciously absorbed. Working with materials such as the Pink Tower, Brown Stair, and Red Rods, children attend to dimension and learn to recognize similarities, differences, and gradations in size, width, weight, and length.
