Pre-Primary Classroom News

The Pre-Primary classrooms at Cowles Montessori are busy talking about Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision of peace.  Peace education is a major component in Montessori classrooms and with Dr. King’s birthday this week, it is a perfect time to teach young children how to treat everyone with kindness and respect.  Many classrooms are creating peace posters, multi-cultural handprint wreaths, and peaceful person pictures which the children color and then write or dictate to a teacher how to be a peaceful person.  We look forward to reading many books about Dr. King and hearing all the comments and questions from our young students as they realize what a kind and loving man he was.
