Remote Learning Highlights
Pre-elementary Learning
Learning about the state you live in is important. One student shares her knowledge by reciting the facts for her teacher via video.
A Pre-elementary Montessori classroom offers hands-on materials to help students develop a concrete understanding of math. So how do you continue this type of learning via remote lessons? Check out our examples and videos to see how it is done.
Learning is not about memorizing facts. Learning is asking questions and following your curiosity like this Pre-elementary student who conducted a science experiment and shared it with others.
Even though one student could not celebrate his birthday in the classroom, his classmates came to him via Zoom, and they celebrated his day the Montessori Way.
As young students learn, their special joy comes through and thanks to parents (and some students themselves), it is shared with the greater community.

Shapes are all around us. Mrs. Vaghul asked her Kindergarten students to find them. See how clever they were in discovering shapes at home.
Lower Elementary Learning
