Silent Journey & Discovery
A Montessori Experience
So you want to know more about the pink tower, the constructive triangles, the bead frame, or the checkerboard? On the first weekend of November in every year we will offer a unique and unforgettable experience – an opportunity for you to see our classrooms through a child’s eye and learn more about the Montessori approach to education.
On Friday evening parents take a “Silent Journey” of observation through the primary and elementary environments that our children experience on a daily basis. On Saturday morning we’ll return for “Discovery”, a hands-on learning experience with the Montessori materials in each environment. You will see what the children see, experience what they experience, and learn what (and how) they learn. You may even ask a Directress to give you a lesson with the Montessori materials! Our special guest presenter is Barbara Gordon, founder of the St. Alcuin Montessori School in Dallas, Texas, founder and director emeritus of the Barbara Gordon Montessori School in Colleyville, Texas, and creator of the “Silent Journey & Discovery” experience for parents.
It is required that you attend both sessions in order to attain the full benefit.
