The Primary children explode into learning through their experiences in the classroom. This is an exciting time for the children in the Montessori program. Students become more and more independent and are capable of more concentrated work. Through a series of activities children begin to read and write. They become more aware of the world in which they live, studying the continents, animals, plants, and other cultures. They work with concrete materials to learn mathematical concepts including the decimal system, geometry and fractions.
