“It is sad when animals die.” Today El Roble Community hosted a caterpillar funeral for a recently departed friend. Empathy, compassion and environmental stewardship in action. @WinnWildcats #montessori

In the Montessori Children’s House (3-6 classroom) children begin language instruction with one on one lessons using cursive letters. These letters offer the child a tactile experience, and the one on one lesson allows the guide to tailor the lesson to each child. @WinnWildcats

Practical Life is an aspect of the Montessori curriculum that encourages self care, independence and concentration. This Shea butter from @bglhonline is an awesome addition to our classroom. @WinnWildcats #montessori

Peer to peer learning this morning as one three year old introduces another to color mixing. This inspires ownership, pride and joy in learning while encouraging a commitment to the community. @WinnWildcats #montessori

@mochamomma @WinnWildcats 😂😂. I’m already planning my afternoon nap!

It was my intention to live tweet, but I’ve never live tweeted so I don’t know why I thought I’d start yesterday 😂. I am so grateful to Kelly Wickham Hurst (@mochamomma) and Mary Pat Martin from Crossroads Antiracism Training for leading @WinnWildcats yestersay

Here a student develops strength of hand, coordination and concentration while she tweezes sunflower seeds off of a sunflower from our garden. @WinnWildcats #montessori

Here a 4 year old student explores with the puzzle maps. The child first explores sensorially, absorbing the shapes and locations of states, countries and continents. Eventually, they begin learning the names. @WinnWildcats #Montessori

That Friday feeling. @WinnWildcats

After we talked about caring for our environment, a student illustrated what happens when we throw trash on the ground (it ends up in the ocean!). Environmental stewardship is an important aspect of the #Montessori method. @WinnWildcats

Writing down a recipe for apple butter that we will use later this week when we cook some! @WinnWildcats #montessori

In El Roble Community we have been discussing self talk. This beautiful student wrote an affirmation for himself and I couldn’t agree more! @AustinISDSEL @WinnWildcats #montessori

@tcbandages Thank you! So many students have been excited to figure out which bandaid best matches their skin color!
