| Elementary Schedule | |
| *This schedule is flexible and most often not strictly followed with these exact times given (except for starting and ending the day). | |

| 8:30 - 9:00 | Morning Group Time – The “person of the day” (rotating based on alphabetical first name order) chooses a pledge and a song. The group discusses current events, classroom topics, and daily plans. Teacher reads a poem, and something else for the entire group that ties into a class topic. Each Monday each child also stands to share one thing from their weekend with the group. We end our group listening to a brief classical piece (5 min or less) about which a small blurb about the composer, and orchestration is read. |
| 9:00 - 12:00 | Work Time—Every student begins the day by writing their own schedule (younger students write a daily schedule every day, while older students write a weekly schedule every Monday). Every child is required to complete a Math and a Language work every day, along with supplemented work from lessons given. They write a prompted Journal every Tuesday and a free-write Journal every Friday. Everyone fixes any Spelling Book corrections on Mondays and then completes two pages of Spelling Book every day Tuesday through Thursday, testing on Friday. They are welcome to complete their daily work in whatever order they choose. Throughout the morning children are also getting new Montessori lessons (individual and in small groups) in subjects such as Geography, History, Geometry, Math, Language, Botany and Zoology. |
