Upper Elementary - Cosmic Education and the Second Plane

In Upper Elementary, we have continued our exploration of the coming of the universe, how all living things have come to be and their interconnectedness.  We have read stories, examined timelines, researched, created art, experimented and created literary connections to Montessori’s Great Lessons.  

Please take the time to read about Cosmic Education in Montessori and the Second Plane of Development in this article from American Montessori Society’s Montessori Life.
