Five Areas of the Classroom
"Help me learn to do it myself!"
Red Barn has a traditional Montessori classroom layout with five distinct areas; practical life tasks, sensorial learning, math and language learning, and cultural exploration. Everything in the classroom has a very deliberate role. Each "job", as an individual task is called, is arranged to help students cultivate a particular skill or learn a subject through their own process of discovery. Under the close teacher observation, students are encouraged to explore new areas in a way that best facilitates their individual development.
