Training of Adults – The adults were trained over a period of 6 month, for roughly 100
hours, to ensure smooth implementation and innovative thinking.
Exercises of Practical Life
Exercises of Practical Life activities are activities done at home that were reinforced in school. The current circumstances enabled us to design a balanced Exercises of Practical Life curriculum for the overall development of the
Sensorial Activities -
We could cover the sensorial activities as a combination of
preparing materials at home and working with materials at school. The challenges we faced with sensorial activities at home were taken care of when children came to
school. We feel they have worked adequately in this area for future intellectual developments.
Language -
Adults have also introduced 2 new languages, Kannada and Hindi. Some children were introduced to Written Language.
Arithmetic and Language -
Arithmetic and Language activities were presented smoothly, without deviating from school curriculum, with the help of in-house materials.
Culturals -
Various activities were provided for the children to experience Geography, which will help them with higher education. We also took part in an exchange program with Montessori Pre-Primary schools world-wide, where various schools shared their children’s work. This gave our children an exposure to cultures from all parts of the world.
Art and Craft -
We reinforced Exercises of Practical Life with Art and Craft. Children were encouraged to be creative and they had fun.
Music and Movement -
Music and movement activities were provided to the children
for them to experience Language, Sensorial, Pitch and Rhythm. Songs are linked to
weather, festivals and other events. While in school, they could relate to, and appreciate dance. They can draw on these experiences when the Rhythm and Movement activities are taken online.
