Cultural Studies in a Montessori ClassroomJune 24, 2008 by Miss Norma | No comments

Cultural studies teaches the children about our world. It is Science, Biology, Geography and the studies of human life.

In science children learn about experiments. They learn the first steps of how to conduct experiments. Children are introduced to simple scientific concepts such as magnets and the magnifying glass.

Biology consists of learning about the human body and how to care for it. The children also learn about plants (Botany). This is where the children learn about gardening and how to care for the environment.

The geography part of Cultural Studies teaches the children about land, air and water. The children learn about the seven continents and the oceans. They learn about where they are in the world, different countries, and cultures of our world.

I will delve more deeply into this in the coming weeks, but for now I simply wanted to make a point of emphasizing what Cultural Studies in the Montessori classroom consisted of.
