Second Great Story Inspiration

 This week we started to tell the Second Great Story (Coming of Life). The children were enthralled as the Timeline of Life was slowly unrolled. Afterwards the children were inspired to take their learning further. Here are some of their
projects:

Inspired to draw his own timeline

Clay model of a prehistoric scorpion

Making a model of a starfish after learning about its parts

Examining an actual turtle shell after exploring its life cycle

Back to Business as Usual

 One advantage of an established Montessori classroom is that usually a large percentage of the students return to the community. Whilst other classrooms, with large numbers of new students, spend time on getting-to-know-you games and building community, Montessori classrooms can virtually pick up from where they left off. Our classroom has welcomed new students into our environment and we are amazed at how quickly the children have settled as a community.
