Working on Sentence Analysis- The Montessori Way

Working on Sentence Analysis- The Montessori Way

When walking into a Primary or Elementary Montessori Classroom, you will be immediately struck with several differences from a traditional classroom.



  • Little desks are not in a row all facing the blackboard
  • There is a great deal of open space on the floor where you see either individual children working side by side, a small group collaborating or children receiving a new lesson from a teacher
  • Most of the things on the shelves are beautifully made of wooden materials that are used as manipulatives to help with abstract concepts


In a Montessori education, children have the opportunity to design their own textbook with information created with their own hand and exercises neatly written.



This is the big difference:


Traditional: someone else creates your education for you (via textbooks)

Montessori: you create your education through your own hands (via your own notebooks and Montessori materials).


You OWN your education.

Peace Pledge

Peace Pledge

Each week our students gather around the flag pole to pay their respects to our nation and each other. Here is the Peace Pledge they recite after saying the Pledge of Allegience.


I offer my support as a child born of the Great Mystery to the vision of peaceful coexistence among all other living creatures of the Earth.


I choose to see beyond all boundaries that separate people from places. I believe that peace is not the absence of conflict but the willingness to work out conflicts peacefully.


I offer my strength, my mind, my heart to this new respect-filled 21st century world. Together we celebrate our being here.
