The Eaglet Flyer

The First Great Lesson is one of five lessons in Montessori curriculum called The Great Lessons. In these lessons, students are introduced to the history of the universe and their place within it (more information on Cosmic Curriculum coming soon!). In the First Great Lesson, students are presented a story of how the universe began up to how planets were formed. This lesson provides a broad overview with the intention of sparking interest and curiosity. Through follow up lessons, students dive deeper into various concepts and areas of study based on curriculum plans as well as personal interest.

After the Great Lesson the students were guided through some new works placed in our science and nature area in the classroom. We pulled out lots of space materials which help students discover more about the universe, galaxy and planet we live on. They have been encouraged to find interesting pieces of nature to add to our nature shelf throughout the last couple of weeks. They have enjoyed taking a closer look at these natural materials using magnifying glasses.

• Runs from 5:00-5:45 for Lower El and from 6:00-6:45 for Upper El and middle school. This will be an opportunity for you to explore the classroom and get a look at what we'll be learning this year. This is an event for caregivers only. Your Eaglet has the opportunity to show their classroom and personal work during Family Friday events.

  
  

  Please note that if you are hoping to check in individually about your child, Open House is not intended for this purpose. We are always happy to set up meetings if you'd like some personalized information about your child's time at school. We hope to see you all there on Thursday!
