In the Montessori classroom Practical Life Skills are taught at young age, they're skills that you need to have in order to be successful in life. From a young age these skills may include learning how to button or zipper, but in the upper elementary classroom as our students begin to enter the real world these skills become more complex. The practical life skills focused on in this project include wood working, cross stitching, working with circuits and knitting.
In our classroom we love to incorporate service learning projects throughout the year which helps us connect with the world in a meaningful way. One way that we will incorporate service learning with this specific project is by donating the hats and scarves made with the knitting looms to a local children's hospital. In addition to knitting, these materials will help me introduce new life skills to my students as they learn how to create objects with wood and learn about the purpose and names of tools found in a tool box. My students will also hone in their fine motor skills through cross stitching and explore how our modern world is powered through circuits.
I know my kids will be so excited about this project and I'm equally as excited to bring such unique learning opportunities into our classroom!
