Come learn all about the Montessori Language Curriculum.
Start the evening in the EI classroom and then "graduate" to the EII classroom to learn in detail about the Lower and Upper Elementary students’ language curriculum:
Foundations + Language History — Impressionistic narratives like the Fourth Great Lesson (The Story of Writing), tracking the evolution of human communication, alphabets, and recorded history
Spoken Language — Collaborative discussions, rule-making, questioning
Reading + Literature — Decoding, fluency, comprehension, research skills, literary analysis and genre exploration
Writing + Composition — Creative and informative expression— poetry, reports, essays, and digital communication, planning, editing, and technical mechanics (capitalization and punctuation)
Grammar — Physical symbols, grammar boxes, farm/command layouts, parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions)
Word Study + Etymology — Prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, antonyms, compound words, and the historical origins/roots of words
Sentence Analysis — From identifying basic subjects and predicates to parsing complex and compound clauses in Upper Elementary
