In this way, the child will be able to select the components of reading which fit his or her cognitive style and put them together in the way that is best for him or her. Social Studies Temple Montessori School s social studies program flows naturally from within the innate tendency of young children to constantly reach out, seeking to understand the world in which they find themselves. The goal is to teach children in an experiential manner about the way other people live, their points of view, and how to negotiate with one another to live with respect and integrity. The integrated studies curriculum broadens the scope to include geography and history in a formal sense as well as a view of education, entertainment, economics, science, music and art in integrated studies such as the Middle Ages, Ancient Civilizations, and the Civil Rights Era. Physical Education Physical education activities include exercises, group games, team sports, and individual activities.
Biological studies relating to physical education include human anatomy, physiology, and nutrition.
The major goal of the science program at Temple Montessori School is to give children a good foundation on which to build scientific literacy and problem solving skills. Our basic philosophy is that children learn best from active involvement with real materials. Field trips to outdoor sites are chosen for their relevance to the units being studied. In addition, Upper Elementary students work with individual science projects which provide opportunities for the student with a particular interest to pursue it in greater depth. The ultimate goal at Temple Montessori School is for children to use computers and other related technology as a medium for creative expression and as a basic tool for communication.
