$99 for 2 Sessions — Introduction to Practical Life
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/153527887043
Practical Life is the foundation for helping children to integrate into the learning community by mastering fine and gross motor skills such as grasping, transfer activities, and balance. We will also discuss care of self and the environment. Through examples of practical life activities, students will be introduced to many underlining principles of Montessori education such as concentration, coordination, cooperation, and independence. Lesson plans and handouts will be provided.
Friday, July 16 — 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST and 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST
$99 for 2 Sessions — Introduction to Sensorial
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/153530121727
Dr. Montessori understood that children learn best through experiential activities that refine the senses. We will discuss how the curriculum addresses the development of the visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory (tasting), olfactory (smelling) senses. We will look at how sensorial lessons introduce the beginning of scientific thinking. We will also discuss how the introduction to two and three dimensional geometry helps children better understand the world around them. Lesson plans and handouts will be provided.
Friday, July 23 — 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST and 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST
$99 for 2 Sessions — Introduction to Math
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/153532767641
The math sequence in Montessori education takes advantage of children’s natural tendencies to learn in concrete, experiential ways. Participants will be introduced to math materials to teach number sense, connect number symbols to quantities, and introduce our decimal system. We will discuss the rationale behind the organization of the Montessori math curriculum. Lesson plans and handouts will be provided.
Friday, July 30 — 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST and 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST
$99 for 2 Sessions — Introduction to Language/Cultural
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/153531501855
Dr. Montessori thought that language development was the foundation of human cultural. Children are born with an amazing capacity to absorb language. In this session, we will look at how the curriculum supports language development in children, including oral and written language exercises. Lesson plans and handouts will be provided. In Montessori education, science and history (social studies) are combined into one area called the cultural studies. How is this curriculum connected between Early Childhood and Elementary levels? We will discuss what Montessori called the spiral curriculum as it pertains to the scientific method and helping children understand the big picture we call the story of the universe. Lesson plans and handouts will be provided.
The seminar series does not count toward MACTE certification.
