School activities at Alder Ridge Montessori School are a priority for us, as it’s a way our students learn the most.
Before school consists of activities such as free play, story time and creative time. Circle consists of stories, songs, literacy, music & dance, grace & courtesies. Independent work time consists of individual presentations or small group presentations. During this period, children are free to choose materials that promote self-esteem, independence, fine and gross motor activities, literacy activities, math, sensory and science concepts, as well as art activities.
