The First Great Lesson is the first experience into the Montessori Cosmic Curriculum. This awe-inspiring lesson leads into many different cultural subjects.
I have been a catechist in the Level III atrium since 1992 at Christian Family Montessori School for both the in-school atrium and the after-school program. During this time, as I began to understand the needs and interests of the 9-12-year-old children, I developed a significant collection of materials for prayer and meditation. These materials, along with a selection of art supplies, have become the backbone of their work in the atrium. I ask them to begin their time there with prayer, supported by one of these materials if desired. They often return to these works later in the session or week as well. I introduce a few early in the year, and upon request throughout the year. Below is a description of the materials on our shelf at CFMS, as well as their use. – Catherine Maresca
