The Lower Elementary Class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brightly lit, beautifully designed, Elementary classroom has all windows open allowing the children a first-hand view of nature while engaged during classroom activities. The Elementary classroom is comprised of a multi-age grouping of students 6 to 9 years of age; which is first, second, and third grades. The elementary level is the academic stage that encourages students to begin grappling and successfully managing the process of time management. They become responsible to complete their assigned tasks, of course with their teacher guiding them to ensure they understand their lessons, and everything is completed on time. Dr. Montessori admonishes that students must first experience success before learning to successfully manage the important life lesson of failure. To be clear, failure might look like not finishing a lesson on time. The goal is to introduce the concepts to the children, one step at a time, so as not to overwhelm them. The concrete subjects they had studied previously when they were younger, they are called to begin the process of abstraction and higher levels of thought within those subjects and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
