Our first child at KMS is doing the “Practical Life” exercise of “Spooning” to develop concentration, coordination, a sense of order and independence. The exercises of “Practical Life” or “Activities of Daily Living” lay the foundation for later academic learning. The “Practical Life” exercises of “Grace and Courtesy” help the child to make friends and develop cooperation and social skills.
The Montessori "Pink Tower" is one of the "Sensorial" materials. These materials help to give order to various impressions of the five senses. The Pink Tower teaches the abstract concepts of "large and small", " large, larger, largest" and "small, smaller, smallest".
