Montessori Geography: How to Introduce the World to Your Child

We live in a big world, and learning about it may be daunting. But a Montessori preschool is about sensorial learning- where children experience the lessons in a fun and exciting way.
 
Geography- the Montessori Way
​​
At Blossoms Montessori School, children have a more tactile understanding of geography. The school provides Montessori geographic materials that students can manipulate to better understand the world, including globes, continents’ puzzle maps, and other land formation materials.

The main advantage of sensorial learning is that it helps build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways. Sensory play also encourages brain development and makes it easier for students to remember their lessons. They can remember geography well because they can visualize it and remember how it feels to touch it.

Culture

An integral part of geography is culture. Cultural studies are also an essential part of Montessori daycare learning. Children are taught about diversity and exposed to the different colors and languages of the world.

At Blossoms in Spring, Texas, the students enjoy Culture Awareness Activities and Presentations to make cultural lessons memorable. Through these activities and presentations, they learn not just about where specific countries are but what distinct cultures offer to the world in terms of food, music, clothing, and other products.

Multicultural students are also encouraged to embrace their ethnicity. Multilingual students are supported; Blossoms has bilingual teachers as Spanish, the second most widely spoken language in the U.S., is part of the curriculum.

History
​
History is also elemental to geography. The concept of how the world was created and the origin of mankind are introduced to children through fascinating materials. Then, there is a gradual introduction to some of the most significant historical events that took place in our country and in the world at large. In Montessori childcare, History is all about learning a sequence of events- essentially.

Montessori lessons are about interrelation and order, so students are encouraged to complete tasks rather than get high grades. Completion of responsibilities is also about one’s pace and not speed.

Montessori is a purposeful academic practice that benefits children in their formative age. Visit Blossoms Montessori School in Spring, Texas now, or click here to learn more about it.
