We learned how fossils are made over thousands of years through the same pressure and time it takes as the rock cycle. We used a fossil digging kit to carefully uncover and dust off 15 different types of fossils such as shark teeth and coral. (Please click for the full information and photos.)

In addition to the Snake Game, the children work on colouring sheets showing a colourful snake as well as a golden snake, learning the properties of the coloured bead bars. Once the child has mastered the snake game, they place the bead bars in the patterns shown on various control cards, making a variety of combinations of equations that they can later print out.

During the winter months, we participated in snow related activities such as observing solids to liquids, colouring snow, creating sculptures like inukshuks and igloos, and other science experiments. How does this melting snowflake experiment using baking soda, water, and vinegar create carbon dioxide as well as a natural cleaning product that neutralizes odours?

In honour of Valentine’s Day, we participated in process-oriented valentine art. We took turns pulling names from a hat, then set to work to craft a one-of-a-kind valentine. We presented each other with our special gift on Valentine’s Day during our sharing circle. The children looked proud and pleased to both give and receive these keepsakes.

The children assist teachers in adding, mixing, and measuring ingredients for baked goods they then get to enjoy for their afternoon snack. We discuss scientific aspects such as the heating process, the different chemical reactions, and why it’s important to measure correctly. (Please click for more photos and information.)

When teaching children about letters using the Montessori method, our focus is on the sounds the letters make rather than their names.
The Montessori Sandpaper Letters, First Sounds activity, and building words through the Pink, Blue, and Green boxes help children with letter recognition, pronunciation, printing, and early stages of reading. (Please click for more detailed information.)
