Gr. R learners - hard at work

🌳📚✏️
The perceptual skills our learners developing are like the roots of a tree, essential for their growth in reading and writing. These skills include visual discrimination, auditory processing, and fine motor coordination. Just as a tree with strong roots can grow tall and healthy, children with well-developed perceptual skills are better equipped to excel in their academic journey.
By nurturing these foundational skills, we are ensuring that our learners have the stability and support they need to thrive in their reading and writing endeavors.

Art and Motor Skills

Art is a valuable avenue for developing fine motor skills in children. It encompasses hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and control, as they utilize paintbrushes, glue, and crayons. Through artistic activities, children enhance their hand movements, aiding them in writing, using scissors, and tying shoelaces.

Additionally, the intricate finger and hand manipulations prompted by art activities foster improved control and mastery, enabling children to navigate and manipulate the tools they encounter in their daily lives.

These collective advancements empower children to refine their motor skills and achieve better control in their day-to-day activities.

Our Montessori school's mission is to provide a nurturing and empowering environment that fosters each child's natural curiosity, creativity, and desire for independence. We believe in guiding children to develop a lifelong love of learning by providing hands-on experiences that cultivate their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Through the use of Montessori principles, our goal is to inspire children to become self-motivated, confident, and responsible individuals who are prepared to positively contribute to their community and the world at large. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse community that celebrates each child's unique abilities, strengths, and interests.

Another beautiful and productive week at Frances!

What a lovely first week in our Junior Elementary class. Our children and teachers are all happy to be back!
