The Five Areas of a Montessori Classroom

Practical Life
Practical Life exercises instill care for self, for others, and for the environment. Activities include many of the tasks children see as part of the daily routine in their home, interesting activities such as pouring, spooning, Etc, Learning exercises of grace and courtesy like, what to say and when, help the child to learn to be a part of everyday society. Through these tasks, children develop muscular coordination, enabling movement and the exploration of their surroundings. They learn to work at a task from beginning to end, and develop their powers of control and concentration.
Sensorial materials
Sensorial materials serve as tools for development. Children build cognitive skills, and learn to order and classify impressions by touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, listening, and exploring the physical properties of their environment. "The hand is the chief teacher of the child."-Dr. Maria Montessori
Language development
Language development is vital to human development. The Montessori environment is rich in oral language opportunities, allowing the child to experience conversations, stories and poetry. : We use a phonics-based program to teach sounds, letters, writing, and then reading.
Mathematics
We begin with manipulatives that slowly lead into abstract concepts Beginning with numbers 1-10, 11-99, and 1-1000, the children learn linear counting and recognition of numerals, which then leads into addition, subtraction, multiplication and division concepts. This is done through fun activities which involve lots of movement, manipulatives and group work. As the child matures, individual work is encouraged and abstract learning begins to take place. which prepares them for later abstract reasoning, and helps to develop problem-solving capabilities.
Cultural Area
This area includes fascinating and enjoyable topics such as global awareness, geography, science, botany, music and art. They are presented as extensions of the sensorial and language activities. Children learn about people and cultures in other countries with an attitude of respect and admiration. The comprehensive art and music programs give children every opportunity to enjoy a variety of creative activities, as well as gain knowledge of the great masters.
