Camping Experience

|

One of the fun activities that we can do in the summer is camping! Through books, songs, and conversations, we learned that we need a tent, a flashlight, a cooler, sleeping bag, and of course, some interesting books. We also talked about disconnecting from screens and electronics and being in nature; an integral part of the Montessori philosophy. (Please click for more information and photos.)

Butterflies!

|

The children experienced and observed the life cycle of a butterfly in real time. The children watched as caterpillars ate their way through the “molting” stage and transitioned into the pupa or chrysalis stage. After the grand arrival of the butterfly, we set them free in the playground on a warm day! (Please click for more information and the full photos.)
