We’re just a few days away from the end of our Fall Primary & Elementary Classroom Observations, and one week away from the start of our schoolwide Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences! Springmont is eager to share the extraordinary learning happening in our classrooms, from Toddlers building independence and practical life skills, and Primary children exploring world maps and beginning to read, to Elementary and Middle School students researching topics of interest and exploring math concepts. #montessori #parentteacherconference

Have you ever wondered how students can work on so many different things at once in Montessori classrooms? • Montessori offers students long, uninterrupted blocks of time to delve deeply into their learning. Students move at their own pace, take significant responsibility for their learning, and benefit from time to concentrate without having to switch gears. • Classrooms are meticulously organized, so children don’t have to constantly ask an adult for permission, instructions, or help. Most Montessori materials are "self-correcting," allowing children to problem-solve independently, and multi-age groupings allow older students to help their younger classmates. • Teachers move through the classroom observing, giving targeted lessons, and tracking which concepts children are mastering and where they might need a gentle nudge. The quiet hum of engaged and joyful learning is extraordinary! #montessori #montessorielementary #joyfullearning #loveourschool
