Told at the beginning of each school year, The Great Lessons are the cornerstone of the Montessori spiral curriculum.  These lessons lay the groundwork for all that is to come throughout the year.  From the Birth of the Universe to the History of  Numbers, they provide a base from which to build on.

The Great Lessons allow the child to create connections between himself and his world.  Connections that enable him to see where he has been, where he is now, and where he is going.

We will begin The Great Lessons this week with follow up activities that will provide an introduction to all of the major themes we will be studying throughout the year.   Science, History, Geography, Botany and Zoology are all represented in the Great Lessons.
