In a Montessori Children's House (pre-K and K), children often complete the same work over and over to build a strong foundation. 🛠️ In Elementary, they begin pushing beyond repetition to elaboration through "Great Work". ❗
Great Work happens when children take the ingredients provided in their environment—lessons from their guides, hands-on materials, art supplies, and more—and create something new and wonderful with them. ❇️
In a Guidepost elementary class, you’ll often see children create history timelines that stretch across the room, dive deep to research and give a presentation on a big topic like the solar system, or plan and prepare meals for the whole class. #montessorielementary #academicsoftiktok #montessorieducation

A carefully prepared environment. What does that mean?
To foster the child’s burgeoning independence and self-confidence, the Montessori environment is designed to create an accessible world of order, beauty, and enriching values. This is a world where they can gradually learn to meet their own needs—to feed themselves, clean up after themselves, to trust themselves.

#WorkingWednesday 🔹 Sandpaper letters are commonly used in our Children’s House program (ages 3-6) to side the child in learning how to write and read. Additionally, this lesson helps the child practice control of movement.
Typically, you will see this material accompanied by a thin layer of sand. But if you’re practicing this at home, and in some of our classroom, you can have your child make strokes and lines with chalk, water, paint, etc.

Writing on Chalkboard is an exercise we introduce in our children’s house program. #WorkingWednesday
The guide can use a Blank Chalkboard, Chalk, Eraser, Protector, Bucket and sponge 🧽 The child is shown to bring the basket of the materials and a letter they choose. The child is shown to hold the chalk and write the letter on the chalkboard. 🖍️
Why do we do it? To acquire ability to write and express ideas. ✍️
How do we help at home? 🏡 The child can practice the same on a chalkboard at home. If you do r have a chalkboard, you can use paper.

#MontessoriMonday 🔹 The work cycle is such a hot topic. So, let’s dig into it. The #montessoriworkcycle is a block of time your child dedicates to uninterrupted lessons/activities. They are allowed to explore their #preparedenvironment (for tips on preparing, see last week’s tips) to engage with materials of their own choosing. They have autonomy to get up and move, change materials, restore their workspace, use the restroom, get a drink and more. 💥
How long is a work cycle? The short answer - It depends on your child’s age. Here is a quick guideline:
🔹0-3 years: 1-2 hours
🔹3-6 years: 1-2.5 hours
🔹6 years +: 2.5-3 hours
A common question we get is “what does my child’s guide do during this time? The answer: A LOT! 🟢
They are observing the classroom and taking note of how the children are doing academically. They are ensuring the children are respectful towards each other and themselves. Redirecting the children as needed. Helping them as needed. Making sure they are safe. Their purpose is to guide them.

The purpose of this material is to help children develop auditory discrimination, which is the ability to recognize the differences in sounds 🔔 🔔
This is an important sense to refine, as it plays a role in literacy 📖 When a child can discriminate between sounds, they have better speech perception, which means they can better detect the differences in #phoneticsounds 🔉
This material is also helpful for learning musical concepts and developing an appreciation for music and other sounds 🎶
Does your school practice music in a daily basis?

This #WorkingWednesday we are shining a light on #homeschooling 📚🎨Homeschooling is a great option for some families. Once you have chosen to educate your child at home, you will want to consider the practicalities. What do you need to make the switch from traditional school to homeschooling? What other preparations should you make to ensure a positive experience for you and your child? Does my state recognize a homeschool option? It is important to note, regulations surrounding homeschool vary from state to state. 🌎
