Montessori perceived the miracle of language development as “a treasure prepared in the unconscious, which is then handed over to consciousness, and the child, in full possession of his new power, talks and talks without cessation.” Children go through a series of stages to acquire language.  They begin with auditory discrimination and quickly move to speech and vocabulary development. In this stage, they also develop symbol and sound recognition which leads to reading and creative writing.

Materials in a Montessori classroom are designed to teach children the intricacies of spoken and written language.

As part of the Bruno Montessori Academy Community Service Program, the middle school students will collect food supplies to help aid the Catholic Center of Concern food pantry. The center assists all people in need, regardless of their religious affiliation.

Each classroom has chosen to donate. Please send in the requested items beginning Monday, November 14th through Thursday, November 17th.
