Seedlings
Grades 1-2
Monday-Thursday 8:45-12:30pm
Seedlings are reaching into a new phase of development. They can think more abstractly and are beginning to see themselves within the context of a group. Peers suddenly matter much more. In Montessori education this elementary age is called the Age of Rudeness. As their will comes out there is an abruptness that can feel like a harsh change from the sweet child they just were. This small age range class helps ease that transition and fill your child with confidence as they become more independent.
Curriculum
Seasonal studies connect Seedling students to the rhythm of the farm through life skills. For math and language we use Wild Learning’s, Wild Math and Wild Reading curriculums. We pull from the book “Math in the Garden” and Blossom and Root science as well as Montessori materials.
Hands-on activities
This age range still needs to move their bodies. Through outdoor, hands on learning our program is designed to keep your child engaged with room to honor their moments to get their wiggles out.
Practical Skills
Children will learn to take care of their environment and themselves with guided independence. Each day they will contribute to the operation of the farm through feeding animals and preparing and maintaining the gardens.
Social Skills
Being in community gives children the opportunity to practice resolving conflicts, delayed gratification and collaboration. At Kitsap Life Academy we believe it is important to foster skills of critical thinking and civil discourse.
