This month, our classrooms have been filled with curiosity, creativity, and the joy of discovery! As the seasons change, our students have been exploring hands-on lessons that connect them with the world around them — from the life cycle of pumpkins to the geography and animals of North America.



With autumn in full swing, pumpkins became the center of our classroom exploration! Students observed real pumpkins and scooped out seeds. Children discovered each stage of the pumpkin’s life cycle — seed, sprout, vine, flower, and fruit. This hands-on learning helped them understand nature’s beautiful rhythm and the importance of caring for living things. The children also studied the four seasons — spring, summer, fall, and winter. Using Montessori materials, they sorted seasonal pictures, matched clothing to the right weather, and discussed how trees, animals, and people adapt to each season. Observing the changes outside our classroom windows helped them see firsthand how nature transforms through the year.

Our geography studies took us to North America, where students learned about its countries, flags, landmarks, and diverse cultures. Using Montessori jobs continent maps and puzzle pieces, they traced the shapes of countries and colored their own maps. Discussions about North America also led us to talk about the people and places that make our world so unique.

This month’s enrichment lessons were full of creativity! The children painted colorful rocks to place in our school garden, created Picasso-inspired pumpkin art, and were introduced to the beautiful music of composer Camille Saint-Saëns. These activities helped our students express themselves through art and music while connecting to our fall themes. We can’t wait to see what next month brings!
