THEMES: We will be loosely structuring Montessori and Reggio Emilia
lessons around the themes discussed during group lesson time and
independent work time (during which small group lessons take place).
Below is a list of the themes that we will be covering this year:
September:
New Places, New Faces--Starting school and making friends; and
Discovery Street--Our neighborhood and community helpers
October: Vroom! Vroom!--Transportation, roads, and safety
November & December: Our Diner--Cooking and nutrition
January: Build It Big!--Construction, tools, simple machines, and jobs
February & March: Healthy Me!--Our physiology and staying healthy
April: Our Water Wonderland--Water in our world and the water cycle
May & June: Backyard Detectives--Investigating nature and life cycles
"Once children perceive themselves as authors and inventors, once they discover the pleasure of inquiry, their motivation and interest explode." -Loris Malaguzzi, creator of the Reggio Emilia approach
