Learning Journey - July 2025: Focused Minds, Confident Steps
As children grew comfortable with their environment, our journey moved from joyful settlement to nurturing attention and confidence through play. Red Day filled our spaces with color and excitement, as children shared red treasures and engaged in themed activities through joyful expression.
In class, Montessori Practical Life activities like pouring and straining nurtured focus, coordination, and independence. Through the EVS theme All About Me, children learned to name body parts and express themselves with clarity and confidence.
English phonics sessions built early literacy through letter sounds, vocabulary games, and pre-writing. In math, children used Montessori materials to trace, count, and sequence—developing number sense through hands-on exploration.
We also held our first formative assessment, observing each child’s progress through calm, stress-free interactions. These insights help us guide learning thoughtfully for every child.
As the journey continues, August promises even more discovery, play, and growth across every corner of the classroom.
