We had so much fun celebrating Chinese or the Lunar New Year together! Celebrating all holidays and cultures is an intrinsic part of Montessori education. We hope to help the children develop into global citizens.

The North Casa children filled two glasses with water and food colouring. They dipped one side of a paper towel into the colourful water and folded the rest of the paper towel over into an empty glass between the other 2 glasses. As an added element, the red water and the blue water combined in the middle glass to make purple water. It was such a sight to see!

During their weekly class, the children participate in a variety of activities that encourage their French language and literacy skills. Through songs, poems, learning cards and games, the children learn vocabulary pertaining to colours, foods, days of the week, months of the year, weather, animals, shapes, numbers and simple phrases and questions.

After extensive work in the Language area, the children move on to journal writing. Children are encouraged to write about experiences they have had or anything else that inspires them to write and create! After building the sentences, the child prints them in their Journal Book and draws an accompanying picture.

This holiday season, we asked the families to help those in need with a donation of hats, mittens, gloves and scarves, which were donated to a local charity. This gave teachers an opportunity to demonstrate selfless acts, the power of giving, and how fortunate we are.

This winter we collected new winter accessories for all ages, sizes, and gender. These accessories included hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, neck warmers, and socks. The children helped to place these items on our Christmas Tree that was displayed in our front lobby area. The donations were collected and dropped off to The Red Door Family Shelter located in the east end of Toronto.

Cultural diversity is embraced in the Montessori environment by the acknowledgment of various cultural celebrations. For Diwali, the children enjoyed making a fireworks mural with various kinds of coloured paints. They also made individual firework art using patterned cupcake liners on black construction paper. We read about Diwali customs and string lights. We also lit diyas in the classroom to truly usher in this day!

We observed the different colours, shapes and sizes of pumpkins and gourds, and learned about the life cycles and names of the parts. As children explore, they become inquisitive of the natural environment around them, helping them to have a better understanding and respect for nature.

One of the ways we introduce, integrate, and celebrate events in our Casa community is through our Practical Life activities. Materials for activities such as transferring, lacing, gluing, and sifting are changed regularly to reflect the new season or upcoming celebrations.
