The chill to the air, the first fire in the fireplace, the smell of pumpkin spice. It’s finally fall!

     This week your children experienced Autumn, not just as a date on the calendar, but as an opportunity to use our sense of smell to really savor the season. The smells of pumpkin, leaves, and spices brought smiles and evoked particular memories.

Maria Montessori believed there is a sensitive period for developing the senses. Although the senses are an integral part of our lives, children during the early years, have the greatest potential to develop and retrieve them. It is precisely this idea that demonstrates the purpose of Sensorial materials in the Montessori classroom. The Sensorial materials are powerful tools, which allow children to become aware of their unconscious impressions and bring these impressions into conscious awareness. Additionally, they enable your children to create a basis of order in their mind allowing for intelligent exploration of their environment.

Montessori encourages children to indulge fully in Sensorial intake. This is one of the most natural and integral ways in which people learn and develop their senses.
