T E N SO T O - Num R dThe initial lesson with the Number Rods is the first formal math presentation a child receives in the Primary Montessori classroom. The Number Rods are ten wooden rods that are painted red and blue. The first rod, representing “1,” is painted red and is ten centimeters long. The second rod, representing “2,” is twenty centimeters long, with the first half painted red and the second half painted blue. The third rod, representing “3”, is thirty centimeters long and is painted in alternate sections of red, blue, and red again. This pattern continues with all ten rods. The purposes of the Number Rods are to learn the names and sequences of the numbers from one to ten, to gain a concept of number as represented by a single entity, and to provide a foundation for our system of mathematics.Learn more about Number Rods and other Montessori math materials at the Primary Parent Ed Night on March 14!

ED IN H LE L - Mon in M a It's important to know that we're all trying to navigate this new world of devices and tech, and it's not always easy. Kids are using a lot of media, and parents and educators feel a potent sense of anxiety about how to navigate it all. We don't want our kids to get hurt, or get in trouble! We must also keep in mind there are ways media can be great and offer amazing opportunities to our kids. Setting limits and discussing the potential pitfalls of technology can be tricky! Common Sense Media is a great resource that includes independent reviews, age ratings, & other information about all types of media. Check it out at… CommonSenseMedia.org.
