Shopping Cart Lesson


The Montessori classroom has super fun new lessons!
All of our blessings and kosher lessons can be found in a life like mini shopping cart. We also decorated abstract placemats to use during lunch time and recognize whether the lunch is meat or milk status.

 

  
New Montessori Lesson!
Morah Annette introduced a new practical life lesson. Students can take the lesson, fill the bowls up with water, and transfer the water between the bowls using a dropper. This is awesome for building fine motor skills and coordination!!

Brachos Unit


For the past few weeks the Montessori Classroom has been studying the Brachos (Blessings) we recite on food. Each Bracha is accompanied by a Hebrew Montessori lesson- a board for each Bracha with respective examples of food connected by Velcro. For each Bracha we also did a hands on project or an arts n craft lesson. Please enjoy checking out the pictures of this unit below!
