Rising Star Montessori

Although she has since left this world, her mothering methods of teaching live on! Happy heavenly Mothers Day Maria Montessori! Thank you for what your legacy has provided!

A little late, but for Spanish class some of the Jr class created Dr Suess book covers in Spanish!

Although it should be more than just a 1 day event, Jr Elementary (6-9yr old) took full advantage of studying plant life and working in their garden for World Earth Day!

Wow! For our last teachers meeting of the academic year, our parents made us feel like royalty! They decorated so beautifully and provided a fabulous meal ! Thank you does not seem like enough! 😁💓😋

Every now and then its great to just take a break and escape by reading in comfort! Jr Elementary (6-9yr) does this so well !!

Jr Elementary (6-9yr) working hard on some lessons

Working hard on different lessons for our Primary rooms (3-6yr)

With the warmer weather, the toddler group took full advantage of learning about what spring brings with lessons on bugs, and bringing their binoculars to explore their findings!

One of the primary rooms (ages 3-6) had a special visitor (retired RSMA co-founder) stop by to present a wonderful lesson on the meaning of Easter which afterwards the students did a craft to further their learning!

Maria Montessori refers to ages 3-6 as the absorbent mind because they observe the environment and explore through their senses which leads to the desire for physical and biological independence. During lessons in the classroom, the teacher explains, shows and directs. Then each student is allowed to participate individually. With supervision, the student is then allowed to explore the subject themselves with concious effort at their pace of reasoning leading to full understanding.
