My curriculum posts are showing 32 years in my Montessori classrooms as a school owner. Please use, share and enjoy these teaching ideas. I recommend my Science Units, Reggio, Sensorial and Art posts, but they are all great! Enjoy!
I am a certified art teacher and Montessori allows me to use that skill in the classroom, especially my knowledge of clay.
Visit the school's youtube channel to view more of our clay projects.
Originally, my assistant brought in parts of a cow that died on her family farm. It is not unusual for a farm to have a pile of bones somewhere. Then, while visiting Mt Rushmore I spotted a super cool roadside hut covered with bones. I knew that was the place to find my own cow skeleton! Found a book that had a good picture of the whole guy and made Parts of the Cow Skeleton vocabulary cards for the kids to copy and make their own book. It is a favorite and students remember this lesson for years after!
