Practical Life
Practical Life lessons are designed to develop independence, build concentration and coordination. Practical Life activities fall into four main categories: care of self, grace and courtesy, control of movement, and care of the environment.
Sensorial
Sensorial lessons teach children the subtle (and not so subtle) differences in size, color, shape, texture, sound, smell, and taste. These activities refine the use of the senses and serve as pre-reading and pre-math lessons that children build on.
Culture
Culture lessons allow children to explore their world. Children use specially designed Montessori materials to learn about land forms, continent names, animals, cultures, life cycles of plants and animals, weather, and the solar system.
