The children have been travelling to galaxies far, far away by reading books, colouring fact sheets, cutting on a line to space objects, singing songs, exploring sensory materials, and role playing being astronauts. What an “out of this world” learning experience!

A child in our classroom told a story about going on a picnic with his family. This piqued the interest of the other children in the classroom who listened to the story, asked questions, and told their own stories of picnics and eating with their families. Another child asked if we could have a picnic on our playground at school, which other children echoed.

The children helped to make fruit popsicles by taking turns scooping the ingredients into a jug. Then they scooped the blended mixture, poured it into the moulds, and placed popsicle sticks inside. What a healthy, refreshing summer treat!

We observe the life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly, right in our own classroom! While we watch for the butterflies to emerge, the children have the opportunity to do extended activities, such as a life cycle puzzle, a life cycle book with objects and matching cards, as well as drip art and prick a shape butterflies. Once all the butterflies emerge, we take them outside on a warm, sunny day and release them into nature. What an experience!

The children enjoy classical music, echo songs or favourite stories in the listening centre as well as playing instruments and incorporating movement. During the child’s developmental years, lyrics and musical expression can strengthen their gross motor skills through movement; their focus/concentration and memory; as well as expand their vocabulary.

In our Under 3 Montessori classroom, we encourage the children to explore various aspects of science to encourage a sense of wonder and appreciation of the world around us. We conducted a science experiment involving baking soda, vinegar, and food colouring. As the ingredients mixed and reacted, the children watched in joy and astonishment as the colourful baking soda began to bubble and expand.
