Our Curriculum Components “The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.” -Dr. Maria Montessori Sensorial Children learn skills very effectively through their senses. Specific activities are designed to capitalize on using the senses to learn. Math Mathematical thought process and practice are woven into summer activities to help children explore math as it relates to multiple areas in fun and interesting ways. Language All our explorations and activities encourage growth in oral language, written expression, reading, and grammar elements, weaving all the components into the summer themes. Garden Lessons in the outdoors help children develop an understanding and appreciation for the complexity and interdependence of our living world. Children develop the skills of exploration, observation, experimentation, and conservation. Culture Cultural exercises in our summer camp programs include special visitors, in-depth studies, and hands-on activities related to the world around us, including other countries and cultures, the natural world, different languages, and foods.
Learning at Home Mealtime Appreciations You Will Need: Positive thoughts Directions: Before a meal, have each family member say something kind or positive about another family member (maybe the person sitting next to them on their right). You can end with a special rhyme like "Bon Appetit - now we can eat." Tip: This activity helps children learn to recognize and articulate their appreciation of others. More Ideas
