In our JPA classes, a big part of our integrated curriculum the past couple of weeks was the holiday of Rosh Hashana. Part of our Montessori inspired curriculum is the use of self correcting manipulatives that teach the children to take charge of their learning and gives them the ability to work independently in a hands on way. In all of our classes, the children had access to a variety of materials that immersed them in the holiday, learning about apples, bees, honey, the Shofar and so much more.
