The skills learned in this area of the classroom lay a foundation for the rest of the curriculum. We introduce socialization skills and the work cycle, and practice fine and gross motor skills.

Some examples are: spooning and pouring, scrubbing, polishing, sewing, food preparation, and grace and courtesy lessons.

SENSORIAL EXERCISES:
These lessons sharpen the senses through comparing and contrasting activities, such as matching, grading, and sequencing objects. Together, these activities form the foundation for mathematical, musical and scientific studies. Examples in the sensorial area are: matching sounds or smells, matching or grading colors, grading by size, and learning plane and solid shapes.
MATH LESSONS:

SENSORIAL EXERCISES:
In this area children begin with the very concrete and move to the more abstract. A variety of objects are introduced to learn basic number concepts; place value is learned through manipulating the golden beads. Some examples are: sandpaper numerals for learning the symbols 1–9, the spindle box for understanding the concept of the 'teen boards and ten boards for matching quantity and symbol, and the golden beads for understanding the decimal system and performing mathematical operations.

SPANISH:
Being able to speak and understand a new language is a great asset that will allow your child to contribute and compete globally in our ever changing world.
Our objectives are to encourage and enjoy the Spanish language and provide a strong foundation for your child’s academic as well as emotional and social development.
Since the Montessori system supports self-paced learning with self-correcting materials with an intensive usage of images, children will have lots of opportunities to practice a new language.
