Our primary Classrooms are equipped with authentic materials that will enhance our students\u2019 experience at Arka Montessori of Lavon. Goals specific to the primary Classroom are:<br \/>\n<strong>Developing a positive attitude toward school<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the learning activities are individualized: i.e., each child engages in a learning task that particularly appeals to him\u2026because he finds the activities geared to his needs and level of readiness. Consequently, he works at his own rate, repeating the task as often as he likes, thus experiencing a series of achievements. In this manner, he built a positive attitude toward learning itself.<br \/>\n<strong>Helping each child develop self-confidence<\/strong><br \/>\nTasks are designed so that each new step is built upon what the child has already mastered, thus removing the negative experience of frequent failure. A carefully planned series of successes builds upon inner confidence in the child, assuring him that he can learn by himself. These confidence-building activities likewise contribute to the child\u2019s healthy emotional development.<br \/>\n<strong>Assisting each child in building a habit of concentration<\/strong><br \/>\nEffective learning presupposes the ability to listen carefully and to attend to what is said or demonstrated. Through a series of absorbing experiences, the child forms habits of extended attention, thus increasing his ability to concentrate. Fostering an abiding curiosity in a rapidly changing society, where we will all be students at some time in our lives. A deep, persistent, and abiding curiosity is a prerequisite for creative learning. By providing the child with opportunities to discover qualities, dimensions, and relationships amidst a rich variety of stimulating learning situations, curiosity is developed, and an essential element in creative learning has been established.<br \/>\n<strong>Developing habits of initiative and persistence<\/strong><br \/>\nBy surrounding a child with appealing materials and learning activities geared to his inner needs, he becomes accustomed to engaging in activities on his own. Gradually, this results in a habit of initiative \u2013 an essential quality in leadership. \u201cGround rules\u201d call for completing a task once begun and gradually result in a habit of persistence and perseverance for replacing materials after the task is accomplished. This \u201ccompletion expectation\u201d gradually results in a habit of persistence and perseverance.<br \/>\n<strong>Fostering inner security and a sense of order in the child<\/strong><br \/>\nThrough a well-ordered, enriched but simplified environment, the child\u2019s need for order and security is intensely satisfied. This is noticed in the calming effect the environment has on the child. Since every item in the Montessori classroom has a place and the ground rules call for everything in its place, the child\u2019s inner need for order is directly satisfied.<br \/>\nThe Primary Montessori Curriculum consists of: \u00a0 Practical Life<br \/>\nSensorial Activities<br \/>\nLanguage<br \/>\nMathematics<br \/>\nCultural Subjects (Geography, History, &amp; Science)<br \/>\nArt<br \/>\nMusic &amp; Movement<br \/>\nIn addition, we will offer additional extracurricular activities, i.e., Robotics, Dance, STEM Classes, Soccer, just to name a few.<br \/>\nPlease contact us at @<a href=\"tel:+14694666749\"> (469) 466-6749<\/a> if you would like to learn more about our Primary Class Program or if you would like to <a href=\"https:\/\/arkamontessori.com\/lavon\/arka-montessori-of-lavon-schedule-a-tour\/\">schedule a tour<\/a> of our brand new state-of-the-art facility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_animate_afr\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_f6fee3dc location-box via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--gap:3rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_8591a7b2\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Location&#8221;
