The children have been talking about the primary elections lately so it was a perfect time to talk with them about what a President’s job is and also that we honor our past Presidents in the month of February. We have a simple reader book called “Presidents of the United States” by Reading Discovery that helps tell a little bit about each President. The students were so interested in learning about both the first and current Presidents that the older students wanted to know if they too could make a book of their own. Of course the answer is always yes to these kinds of learning experiences in a Montessori program so they are currently making them. This kind of experience helps the students use all of their skills to develop special interest items that they can treasure. I hope in time the books will be finished and your child can share it with you.
