Back to School Sale!

As we enjoyed our summer, we couldn’t help but notice the back-to-school commercials popping up. Teachers across the United States already all feel the familiar pang of dread; our summer is winding down. While we'd love to kick back and savor the remaining days of summer, like the Sunday scaries, the upcoming school year is looming in the back of our minds. The never-ending list of responsibilities and the looming inventory to be acquired can all feel quite overwhelming.

For some of you, your dread stems from not knowing what you will do for PE this year. You may be a classroom teacher tasked with PE as well, or maybe you are a PE teacher, but this is your first year working at a Montessori school. Either way, some unfamiliarity with this role may be causing anxiety. “How do I incorporate physical movement into my lessons?” said the classroom teacher. “How do I make my” PE lessons authentic to Montessori?” said the PE teacher. The good news is that Montessori Physical Education is here to help.

We offer a unique physical education curriculum that integrates with the classroom curriculum. By integrating classroom themes with PE games, we accomplish several things. First, we have one of the most authentic PE programs in Montessori education because the PE lessons are derived directly from classroom lessons and materials. Second, the student's learning of classroom content is enhanced through the repetition of vocabulary and the unique mechanic of "learning through play," which could be even more beneficial for kinesthetic learners. Thirdly, the students don't see PE as just another play or recess time but as a legitimate co-curricular that allows delving deeper into classroom material, especially when we play Indigenous sports to support culture studies. Finally, the throughline between our PE and sports programs is understanding sportsmanship, which is directly related to SEL competencies.
