Greensboro
Montessori School Lower Elementary Curriculum
Six to nine year olds.
 Children
6 to 9 years of age are inquisitive about the world around them and
they are ready to develop and refine the skills necessary for inquiry.
The Lower
Elementary children at The Greensboro
Montessori School study an integrated curriculum
which builds skills in the core areas
of reading, writing, and math as they explore cultural subjects such
as physical science, biology, geography, history, social studies
and Spanish. Manipulative materials support learning in all subject
areas. Five Great Lessons form the foundation of the Lower
Elementary Curriculum and give the children an
impressionistic understanding of the world in which they live.
These introductory lessons point
the children toward further learning through hands-on experiments,
reading, writing, calculation, and presentation. Additionally, the
children use and expand the practical life skills they need in order
to become independent learners.
