The Montessori Academy of Arlington’s Post

Lower Elementary - Grammar Farm As our rising first graders transition to a new classroom, they will notice familiar materials from their Early Childhood classroom that are also present in the Elementary program. One of these is the Montessori Grammar Farm, which encourages children to practice building simple combinations of words and phrases, learning about the parts of speech and sentence structure. Intriguing objects pique a child's interest, as they manipulate the objects to better internalize abstract concepts. The work begins with labeling each object, animals as nouns, as seen here. As they become familiar with the function of nouns in a phrase or sentence, they can explore adjectives, like "brown horse" or "fluffy sheep." This work lays the groundwork for good communication, reading comprehension, writing, speaking, and storytelling in an approachable way for children. #grammar #literacy #partsofspeech #sentencestructure #handsonlearning #experientiallearning #focus #order #concentration #coordination #independence #confidentlearner #competentlearner #academicallyprepared #language #intrinsicmotivation #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington
