The children are full of pride when they master a task. Here are some of our Infants & Toddlers showing off their work.
The Pink Tower shown in the first two pictures below are part of the Montessori Sensorial materials. This work is available in both the Infant-Toddler & PreK classes.
From wikipedia.org - The pink tower has ten pink cubes. The smallest cube is 1 cubic centimeter in volume, and the largest cube is 1000 cubic centimeters in volume (each side is 10 cm in length). The work is designed to provide the child with a concept of "big" and "small."
The child starts with the largest cube and puts the second-largest cube on top of it. This continues until all ten cubes are stacked on top of each other.
The practical life area of the classroom is set up to help children develop independence, concentration and dexterity. The children are shown how to transfer materials from one container to another using various tools (spoons, tongs, tweezers and eye droppers just for example). These activities are set up to match our thematic studies and or the season and are created to be esthetically pleasing to a child's eyes. Below are some of the activities that have been on the shelves during December 2012.
