Welcome to Mulberry "Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.” Dr. Maria Montessori

The four seasons (fall, summer, spring, winter) are caused by the Earth's position in relation to the Sun. Depending on how the Earth is titled towards the Sun affects the temperatures and climates that different regions experience.

The Montessori approach to geography allows children to learn concepts in a tactile, hands-on way. Geography comes to life when it is presented in the way young children learn best. Equipped with curiosity and their five senses, young children explore and manipulate materials in their environment to understand the world around them.

What is a Hemisphere? ‘Hemi’ means ‘half’ in Greek language and ‘sphere’ means ‘a round object’. Hemisphere, thus, means half of the Earth that is spherical in shape. Geographers have divided the Earth into four distinct hemispheres—Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern—each representing one half of the Earth.

Why do we use Maps? In a GPS world, where synthesized voices tell us when to turn to get from point A to point B, do kids really need to learn how to read a map? Absolutely. While many skills have become obsolete in the digital age, map reading remains an important tool for building children’s spatial reasoning skills and helping them make sense of our world.

Spatial thinking involves visualizing, interpreting, and reasoning using location, distance, direction, relationships, movement, and change in space. Maps support spatial thinking by helping children visualize where objects, places, cities, and countries are in relation to one another. Quite literally, maps help them figure out their place in the world.

Transportation is everywhere in our society. It is responsible for the advancement of the entire world. Today, people can travel all over the world in a few days or weeks. Modern transportation has changed how people work and live. People can live in one place, but work with people in another country. Transportation gets us supplies, food and other essentials so we can survive. It’s also essential for shipping these items around the world. Children are fascinated with machines and vehicles.

Our Gardeners are learning about parts of the pumpkin and life cycle of a pumpkin - stages that a pumpkin goes through from seed to become a full-grown pumpkin.

Many parts of a pumpkin are edible, including the flower, leaves, seeds, and the soft part of the rind. Skin -the thin, shiny, orange outer layer of a pumpkin is sometimes called the "rind". It is a protective layer, which keep insects and disease out of the fruit. The word “pumpkin” comes from the Greek word “pepon,” which means large melon.

In science, children thoroughly enjoyed the presentation about Magnetic and Non-magnetic properties of different objects like a metal spoon, crayon, paperclip, a cloth pin etc.

Children learn by exploring, observing, and figuring out the way things work by experimenting. Exploring magnets encourages all of these. Magnetism is an attraction that two items have making them stick together! A magnetic field is an invisible area all around the magnet that attracts other magnetic material.
