What Do Mixed Age Groups Bring to Montessori?


A Community FOR the CHILDREN!
It opens the door for interaction and a sense of community. The Montessori environment creates an atmosphere where children learn to help and be helped by other children, because they interact consistently with children whose age and abilities are varied. Children gain an appreciation for their own achievement and the accomplishments of others. They develop a strong sense of community and stability within the classroom. This community aids the development of leadership and role modeling for one another, and social skills such as kindness, courteousness, and respect. This is exactly why we regularly share and discuss with the children our role in our community, in and outside the classroom. The month of December is extra special because the spirit of giving, generosity, peace and kindness is in the air. CalaverasMontessori School is contributing to our community by hosting a Toy Drive for foster children. In an effort to help California foster children keep the joy of the holidays in their hearts. We are hoping to collect 15 brand new toys for the children by December 20th! Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
