Culture
Culture brings the world to the Montessori classroom. Cultural subjects, include geography, botany, biology, music, and art.
Geography is the central core to the culture studies. We begin with the introduction to the Land and Water Globe and then to the Continents. They work with puzzle maps of the world, continents and countries. Geography folders containing large pictures of people, places, flora of the different continents and countries bring the puzzle pieces to life and providing a lasting appreciation and respect for all cultures.
Botany and zoology materials include puzzles and cards of the basic parts of plants and animals. The Leaf cabinet provides the child with a means of classifying the different shapes of leaves.
