This month's blog is
4 Classroom Strategies That Help Introverts and Extroverts Do Their Best
.
Not all children are the same, even though they're in the same
classroom, and this is the aspect that makes teaching so difficult
and challenging. Some children may be extroverts, may like standing
out during classes through asking tons of questions and may be able
to make friends a lot easier due to their affinity and socialization
skills. On the other hand, there are other children that may be
more introverted and helping them integrate within the classroom
is a much more difficult task than you imagined. You have to come
up with the best strategy to determine each child to get equally
involved in classroom activities and to bring out their best.
This article may help you a bit on choosing the right strategy to
make introverts and extroverts work together in the classroom.

Math
Our math curriculum covers learning to count, recognize numbers, trace
them... from zero to 1 million. Introduction to addition and subtraction
using Montessori materials are also available.
Early Literacy
In a Montessori classroom, early literacy starts before learning to
read. Children are exposed to sounds and train their ear to identify
them before putting a name on a letter. In the Early Literacy class,
children can start with fun sound games like "I spy" and move all the
way to reading comprehension.
Arts, Logic & creativity
Our Arts class includes an introduction to colors (primary and
secondary) as well as many games using colors and shapes. We also
offer a pre-coding game, reasoning games and music games.
Practical Life
Because children this age love to reproduce everyday activities done
by adults, Maria Montessori included a range of activities like
dusting, taking care of plants, cleaning a mirror or washing clothes.
Montessori Preschool welcomes users in a digital school with lockers,
a corridor full of daily responsibilities or discoveries.
Montessori Preschool is available for Apple and Android devices.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 9.0 or later (Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch) and Android version 4.1 and up on your Android device.
