Cheryl Ferreira - Language and Mathematics Workshop

Language - Towards Total Reading
&
Mathematics - From Concrete to Abstract

We are delighted to announce the details of Cheryl's 1 day workshop on:

Saturday, 21st July 2007, Auckland
9.00am - 5.00p.m
Titoki Montessori School
70a Stredwick Drive
Torbay
Auckland

Language - in the children's house we are always working 'towards total reading'. We pursue this path mastering not only the mechanics of word reading (phonetic reading, phonograms, puzzle words) but also exploring the function of different types of words. Cheryl Ferreira will give an overview of total reading and revisit some of the key materials that lead the child along that path.

Mathematics - the Montessori Method of education in which a child is constantly manipulating objects with their hands and activley exercising their senses, takes into account the child's special aptitude for mathematics. From the golden beads onwards Cheryl will review some of the key materials which assist the child to explore the four mathematical operations tracing the child's progress 'from concrete to abstract'.

Early Bird Registration Fee : $100
