Curriculum
The children at Rainbow Montessori have a fun-filled and
exciting day filled with numerous activities, highlighted by a three-hour
Montessori program.
-
Practical Life Activities: Matching, pairing, sequencing, gradation, pouring,
developing small
muscle coordination, and learning about grace and social courtesies.
-
Sensorial Activities:
Awareness of the many sensorial impressions of our world. They
learn colors, shapes, dimensions, scents, tastes, temperatures, textures,
weights, and more by categorizing the world that they live in.
-
Language Skills:
Learning the
sounds of our language cracks the code to reading (phonics and phonograms).
Children begin to understand that putting 3 to 4 sounds together makes a word
and putting a group of words together makes a sentence. Writing also
comes to the child at this time. He/She is spontaneously able to read
and write.
-
Math Skills:
The child learns
the symbols to the numbers, the sequence of numbers, teens, tens, skip
counting, and the four operations of mathematics (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division). Fractions are also introduced when the child
is ready.

Geography:
The child learns
about the world around us and about other cultures through maps, flags and
cultural picture cards.
-
Science/Botany / Zoology:

plant life, the animal kingdoms and about our universe.

week.
