The chalkboard allows for repetition without pressure. Mistakes can be erased easily, encouraging confidence and risk-taking. Eventually, writing on paper emerges naturally. It begins with single letters, repeated often, then progresses to two- and three-letter phonetic words. Children genuinely love this stage. They crave repetition because repetition builds mastery, and mastery builds confidence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095012543-BSJGIMHFUE7TUFJ5VQ4K/IMG_3346.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Moveable Alphabet Once a child knows roughly 16 phonetic sounds and has practiced sound games, sounding out words like “mmm…o…ppp,” they begin exploring writing, yes, writing before reading. They create the most beautiful little lists about what matters to them. “Let’s write bird.” It may look like “brd,” because phonetic spelling comes first and spelling rules come later. We do not correct. We allow them to write and write and write. Through chalkboards and moveable alphabets, they focus, stretch sounds, and build one-to-one correspondence. Other children begin reading their work. Younger students observe the process. Writing becomes joyful. It becomes powerful. They learn that written words are a transfer of thought. Another way to communicate. And over time, it naturally grows into more complex and confident expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094944871-RMDB7JF1DD9PQEEZLV63/IMG_7818.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095081470-0443SV9HUL8EEESRFK0K/IMG_7969.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095038636-US0J0IKENYOO8G497IAL/IMG_4145.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Sandpaper Phonograms Once the child knows the individual letter sounds, we begin introducing sandpaper phonograms, key letter combinations that represent blended sounds. This deepens their understanding of sound patterns and supports more complex writing and reading connections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095096610-DLJIP0H4QWARB0IS0W2O/IMG_1513.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Phonogram Exploration How many words can you think of with “ow”? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095109922-V9QKN0H5K2ZH7WMN28DJ/IMG_3770.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - So many ways to make this sound... Children explore and practice correct spelling patterns such as words with “er,” “ir,” and “ur.” While these all represent the same sound, they require careful attention to choose the correct spelling. This example is known as r-controlled vowels. As children grow in their reading confidence, we begin focusing more intentionally on these spelling patterns, helping them move from purely phonetic writing toward conventional spelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095048633-3HHYSSDVDRMDY26987N5/IMG_1260.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Silent “e’s.” Isn’t that just the loveliest little pair of words? Look at that tiny globe. When children are three, we fill baskets with small objects and play sound games, identifying beginning sounds, ending sounds, and all the sounds in between. They must be able to isolate and stretch those sounds in order to write and eventually read. Here you see a four-and-a-half-year-old taking it to the next level. Silent e. Long vowels. Choosing an object from the display, a small globe, writing about it independently. Then writing the word hope. From sound to symbol. From object to idea. We just love this progression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094914978-9WFD1HCWM3DUB260QXGU/IMG_3549.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Puzzle (sight) Words Reading often emerges quickly. As children begin blending sounds, it happens naturally alongside writing with the moveable alphabet and reading their work to others. Soon after, we introduce puzzle words and practice them through playful, engaging games that build retention. Over the second year (preschool. 4 year old) and third year (kindergarten, 5 year old), children move through more than 120 of these high-frequency words. We continue working with the moveable alphabet and a wide variety of games and lessons, strengthening spelling, recognition, and fluency in both cursive and print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094918144-RYLN36YX870V48LL31K5/IMG_1567.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Puzzle Words And even more. This can look like a spelling test, but it is far more dynamic. The Guide may dictate words, children build them with the moveable alphabet, and then they check their own work or a friend’s. The ownership is theirs. We also build “at a distance.” A child reads a word, walks across the classroom holding it in their mind, and then replicates it from memory. Movement is essential. They are crossing the room, navigating other materials, tuning out conversations, and strengthening focus. In doing so, they are not just spelling. They are building working memory, concentration, and long-term retention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094935916-APAJDSG2MFKC8EKHJLF9/IMG_2097.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Labeling the Map of Africa Everything is interconnected. You might see a child learning the countries of Africa. It begins sensorially, through puzzle maps and hands-on exploration. Then comes spoken language. Eventually, they label with the moveable alphabet. Later, they create their own maps using colored pencils, paint, even clay. One day, they read those labels independently and begin correcting their own spelling. It is all about the process. Each layer builds upon the next. And over three years, that layering becomes mastery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094928511-MM9W6ALFVET48DRR23WX/IMG_1956.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Watercolor Texas A child paints Texas and carefully labels it, eventually creating a beautiful handmade book or even framed artwork featuring all 50 states. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095029796-VY4QHFBCUWKYFBGRMCOP/IMG_8536.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Phonetic Reading Scavenger Hunt One child, or sometimes a small group, can often be found in the classroom on a little scavenger hunt. They might write their own clues, create word lists, or read from a prepared list to find objects, or even friends, around the room. There is always something purposeful and playful unfolding in the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095062564-VLRDNLUPXPM2D45U36CA/526C4303-0198-4835-A910-7F984ABAFDC5.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Labeling Polygons Polygons are no different. The learning is cumulative and intentionally structured for each individual child. It begins sensorially, handling the shapes, tracing them, comparing them. Then comes spoken language and lots of movement-based games. Concrete always comes before abstract. Children label the shapes. They count the sides. They identify and name the parts. They learn precise definitions. They compare, classify, and refine. It keeps building. What begins as a hands-on exploration of form becomes language, then understanding, then abstraction. Over time, they are not just memorizing vocabulary. They are internalizing geometric relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094962918-268L9X10C7YG8N5FCCNQ/IMG_5979.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Labeling Geometric Solids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094953656-G6KWUNJR3YJL8ZWYDHFT/IMG_1790.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Word Study Word study begins as early as three and four through spoken language and rich, playful games. We explore homonyms, singular and plural, antonyms, synonyms, rhyming words, beginning and ending sounds, compound words, and parts of speech. Language is everywhere, and it is joyful. Children build words with the moveable alphabet. They read them. They write them. They practice spelling naturally through repetition and play. From ages three to six, words and syntax are genuinely fun. These lessons often lead to giggles and contagious smiles. By kindergarten, children love testing their own knowledge and recall. They delight in quizzing friends, encouraging one another, and stretching themselves further. Language becomes not just a subject, but a source of confidence and connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095011484-IKFZ8VQ1GIVA2YSLFEKZ/IMG_6279.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095054422-FIOW1J9LZZMNT3782G39/IMG_1290.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094952619-KHORCFHWPUZIOHTZAF0E/IMG_1805.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Definitions in Three Stages Here you see a child working with definitions in three stages, reading the parts of a tree and matching the first complete definition independently. This is what we call “total reading.” Decoding, comprehension, and meaning all coming together. Botany, like everything in Montessori, moves from concrete to abstract. It may begin with polishing leaves in Practical Life. Then gardening outdoors. Tasting the fresh herbs they grow. Learning leaf shapes through hands-on classification. Observing trees closely. Drawing them. Writing about them. Eventually, they read classified definitions and create their own books. Science is not a separate subject. It is woven into everything over the three-year cycle: language, math, sensorial exploration, geography, art. Layer by layer, experience by experience, knowledge becomes understanding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095030492-21IIMG62NW06UVRCNMCF/IMG_1903.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Starfish Anatomy Take a look at this beautiful art extension of a starfish anatomy lesson. This is exactly what we encourage. Explore through art. Express yourself. Bring purpose and life to what you are learning.

For our younger three- and early four-year-olds, this might look like sorting and naming types of fruit, types of transportation, community helpers, landmarks, land and water forms, or parts of animals. As language grows, so does precision. Children begin distinguishing between garden flowers and Colorado wildflowers. They classify mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds. They explore vertebrates and invertebrates. The categories become richer. The language becomes more exact. In this photo, a child who had moved into reading and writing chose to create their own book of sea creatures. That month, they were particularly fascinated by the ocean. So we leaned in. Imagine being deeply excited about the ocean, but the predetermined unit that month is desert animals. In many traditional or transitional kindergarten settings, the curriculum is set in advance. The theme is the theme. In Montessori, we listen to the child. We lead with curiosity. Yes, desert animals will be explored. But so will oceans, habitats, geography, art, songs, maps, writing, and research, if that is where the child’s interest lives. We follow the spark. There is something powerful about being seen in your learning. About not having your curiosity paused because the pacing guide says otherwise. About not being prescribed content by a screen or a standardized outline. Imagine being able to dive deep into what fills your cup. That is the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094977653-77IK3KPWARACAXS4IQ8T/IMG_7263.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Monarch Butterfly Art, language, and time outdoors, always, merge around every corner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094976605-VDNZXD0E0DXKQVPDQJZP/IMG_6443.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Baking!!! They bake in Primary. It begins with foundational skills. Three-year-olds measure, pour, scoop, stir. They learn to concentrate. To control their movements. To follow a sequence. As their literacy grows, they begin reading recipes. Eventually, they create their own. This child discovered a fortune cookie recipe in one of our classroom books and was determined to try it. He invited a friend, gathered the ingredients, and got to work. It took a few attempts, as real learning often does, but he persisted. He even wrote his own little fortune. Around Lunar New Year, his enthusiasm sparked something bigger. Soon the whole class wanted to bake them together as a group activity. Practical Life. Math. Reading. Writing. Culture. Community. All connected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771094992674-0EIRXTY9ETDUJGFC7XOT/IMG_6537.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Landmarks and Geography This is where travel dreams begin. Over the three years, children learn about the Earth, the planet, the continents, the places, and the many things we all share. They explore architecture, history, culture, and daily life around the world. They study pictures. Sing songs. Listen to stories. Welcome special guests. They create their own maps and wish lists of places they hope to visit one day. They ask thoughtful questions about people and traditions beyond their own experience. Curiosity expands. Perspective widens. It is simply wonderful to watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095008525-QLJCDCSWF72480M3QBH3/IMG_6532.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Animals of Africa Again, classified nomenclature that begins in spoken language at three and four naturally evolves into reading and writing. In this photo, a child independently chose to explore the animals of Africa that morning, reading the labels, matching definitions, and deepening their understanding through language. The child then invited a small group of younger children to share the specific names and fun facts about the animals. Vicarious learning…. constant building blocks through the mixed aged classroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095024058-G4QE5MDBVOCU1M3BAUWJ/IMG_6277.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095020518-NTM0J9H7ORLMFB7D8L6F/IMG_3537.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095036695-G05AT4983J2CWIIIHROX/IMG_7784.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Reading https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095043915-1HWMIXN2NO9YH5AEEX4U/IMG_4396.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Language & Math Spanish and numbers… a super fun and deeply rewarding morning of connection, language, and math. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771095074049-2Z8OWVPKBHN2E2KOBF7Q/IMG_0113.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Scavenger Hunt A child decided to create a scavenger hunt for items around the classroom, en español! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101357766-MTR72VX97GS62B5SAER8/IMG_1803.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Friends Work Together On the Map of Europe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771098851955-77CI3QXL4XW8ZPM1XAYT/IMG_3727.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - A child leads group time. This is one of those magical moments that cannot be left out of this blog post. How many adults have tried to captivate a group of young children without constant wiggling? And yet here stands a third-year, Kindergarten Primary student, reading, acting, or singing with confidence while their peers are fully engaged. Over three years, that confidence is built intentionally. They lead nature walks. They read poetry. They even read chapter books with expression and intonation. They guide show-and-share. They present their work. They speak clearly and proudly in front of a group. They become the teacher. And in doing so, they become leaders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101372756-RH852MHGLIRC32Q79D1V/IMG_4371.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101341578-6RC4Y2N9GHLVII7QVWAU/IMG_1160.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Can you help me read this large number? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101384762-SZ2P9IFAX6ZLF98JA2UO/IMG_5687.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - May I help you with your grammar lesson? Children read, retrieve, label, and symbolize words, highlighting articles, adjectives, and nouns. They often work in pairs or small groups, and it quickly becomes one of the most joyful lessons in the room. They act out verbs, hopping, skipping, and jumping across the classroom. They explore adverbs, experimenting with what it means to “gently stomp” or “whisper loudly.” It is full of laughter and movement. But beneath the giggles is deep learning. They are moving toward total reading, reading with intention, writing with clarity, and truly understanding the function and power of words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101395310-ONMTL5WE9UJE1FGCZ1PI/IMG_1936.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Teaching a Lesson Teaching solidifies mastery. In this photo, an older child is guiding a younger one through the process of washing cloths. It may seem like an unusual activity in the age of washing machines, but this work is not about laundry. It is about executive functioning. Traditional cloth washing requires gathering materials, filling the basin with water, adding soap carefully, fully submerging the cloth, scrubbing with steady pressure on the washboard, rinsing thoroughly, wringing with control, hanging to dry, and restoring the workspace. Each step must be remembered and completed in sequence. For a young child, that is powerful cognitive work. And for the older child teaching it, the learning deepens even further. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101410120-EP4N8NCI51M16OMYC6SO/IMG_8850.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Tea with Friends A small group of children enjoying tea together. Not staged. Not teacher-directed. Simply chosen. In many traditional TK or kindergarten classrooms, children move as a whole group through a set schedule, and a spontaneous, self-managed tea with friends would be unlikely. But here, after three years of practicing grace and courtesy, they know how to prepare a tray, pour warm tea carefully, invite a guest, converse calmly, giggle softly, and then clean up independently before returning to work. This is not about tea. It is about self-regulation, executive functioning, social awareness, and care for their environment. It is about children who are trusted, capable, and grounded in community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101424358-BUBS3IYRFUUWC2OUR4JC/IMG_2078.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Analyzing Sentences Together! In this photo, children are engaged in reading analysis, working together to break down and truly understand a sentence. Rather than simply decoding the words, they are identifying parts of speech, analyzing structure, and asking, “What is this sentence really saying?” They may be labeling nouns, verbs, adjectives, or articles, or determining how each word functions within the whole. This work strengthens comprehension, grammar awareness, and critical thinking. It moves them beyond surface reading into intentional, analytical reading, where language is not just read, but understood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101479059-BSG47CWDGHZZYLQJEEYG/IMG_1599.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Recess Together Teaching a friend how to make a natural artwork out of seed pods and leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771098820924-N87VG05Q98OJF8ZXGXJI/IMG_9268.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Helping a Younger Child Socks and shoes can be tricky for young children.

Children learn to bake in pairs or small groups. Sometimes the whole class bakes together, but often this is big, individual work. Reading a recipe. Measuring precisely. Applying math. Decoding language. Sequencing steps. Executing a plan from start to finish. And when mistakes happen? They learn. What happens if you grab baking powder instead of baking soda? What happens if you mismeasure and bite into a salty blueberry muffin? You experience it. You reflect. You adjust. It is process. It is accepting failure as part of growth. It is perseverance. It is creativity. Maybe next time you swap blueberries for raspberries. Maybe you adjust the sweetness. Children explore. They experiment. This is not a teacher scooping and pouring for them. It is not always a prescribed recipe. It is not constantly adult-directed. It is an older child who can read stepping into the role of chef, with a younger child as sous chef. It is preparation. It is collaboration. It is cleaning up afterward. It is not a traditional preschool snack poured from a box onto a napkin. It is real work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771101452148-UX29DLUCH9SRMQO4RC0B/2016-11-17%2B20.14.35.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This Saying a poem together before enjoying lunch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771100102736-OTSGYYZUO4LLMCXY0FXV/2016-03-02%2B16.33.24.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771098853070-JWI5MA7IQR7HASGBIC3L/IMG_6555.jpeg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Snack Together https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6d3ffeefe2b6bebdac20a/1771099589614-L5VYMQRZAMZ57SRU1517/IMG_5715.jpg Blog - Before You Choose Kindergarten, Read This - Formation of Numbers Children move from concrete materials to abstract representation of quantity through joyful group games. We might call out, “Find one thousand, two hundred thirty-six,” and a child runs to the rug, holds that number in their mind, and retrieves the correct numeral.
