Physical Science focus in July 2015
“Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create.”
― Maria Montessori
At Lighthouse Montessori Academy we delight in fueling the internal light of children. In this video you will see some of our typical days. We'd like to thank the children and their parents for their participation this month! You make a huge difference!
We have two spots open for the Fall. Space is limited, and we invite you to contact us today!
What's the big deal with Montessori? It is hands-on, neurologically stimulating and beautifully simple.
Look at the focus and the delight captures in this picture as this little girl accomplishes the fabulous task of sensing and organizing those blocks of graded sizes and weights into a perfect beautiful pink tower! She had tried many times, realizing that if you start with a small block, the big one on top makes the tower tumble. She's problem-solving. She is focusing, almost holding her breath to make sure all that work doesn't tumble down!
If we could look into her brain, we would see new connections of neurons being formed as she focuses to distinguish the ever so small difference in dimension and weight of each block. This work hard for her, but it's fun too!
And when she finally puts on the last, tiniest tip on top, she can hardly believe herself! She did it!
