Why Field Trips are an Important Part of a Student’s Education

Nurturing Tomorrow’s Achievers Since 1969

Our AHA! Moments take place in our classrooms, every day!

A Trip Down Memory Lane for our Grade 4 Students

A few weeks ago, our grade 4 students had the opportunity to visit Black Creek Pioneer Village. The students had the chance to experience what a student’s life was like in the 1860s. School life in the 1800s is very different from life in the 21st Century. One student stated, “I thought that the field trip was an extraordinary experience. My favourite part was when we went to the school house and learned arithmetic and how to sing ‘God Save the Queen’. I also liked seeing the Stong’s two houses. If I lived in the 1800’s I would feel strange living in a time with no internet!”

Getting the children to look back and think about what life was like then was not only a lesson in history and social studies, but also provided them with a chance to reflect on how fortunate they are to have creature comforts like not worrying about what they would have for breakfast, lunch or dinner, a warm house and school, electricity, television, and technology such as the internet, etc. The students also had a discussion about how we think Education might be different in the next 150 years.

There are many educational benefits to taking students on field trips. Children learn about real-life experiences, through real-world learning. Field trips also provide access to experiences that they would not have in the traditional classroom. For more information on the benefits of field trips, please click here.

Montessori Learning Time

When you look into one of our Brampton Kindergarten classrooms during Montessori learning time, you will see a variety of things taking place. For example, you might see children practicing their cutting skills, using scissors to cut along different kinds of lines. Maybe you would see a child practicing pouring sand from a jug into smaller glasses. You might see another child using tweezers to move pompoms or buttons from one container to another, counting as they go. Perhaps you would see a child using the Montessori Moveable Alphabet to practice making words on a Montessori mat on the carpet, or the sandpaper letters to practice writing individual letters. Another child might be using the Montessori Addition Strip Board to practice their adding. Continuing to look around, you might see children matching up letters to pictures or objects, working on their initial or ending sounds. No matter what, you will undeniably see a lot of different learning taking place in our Kindergarten classrooms during Montessori learning time!

Montessori learning time has so much value in our Kindergarten classrooms. The hands-on nature of the Montessori Method truly allows for children to grow in their independence across multiple subject areas. The children have opportunity not only to work in areas such as Language and Math using Montessori materials, but also in practical everyday life ways, such as practicing using cutlery or practicing zipping up a zipper on a zipper frame. It is a valuable educational approach, used not only in these independent sessions but also in our lessons. Children respond so well to these materials, and can take the learning that they do here and apply it elsewhere with ease. Our students are always excited for Montessori learning time!

Why Choose RMS as the Private School for your Child?

At Rowntree Montessori Schools we offer a well-rounded academically-progressive private school education. We have four campuses in Brampton serving all areas of the city and surrounding vicinity. Each campus meets every criterion of being a top educational institution. From employing dedicated teachers who motivate students, teach them to think for themselves and offer individualized attention, to running a leading programme that emphasizes academic quality in a supportive, nurturing environment, we provide children with freedom in education and respect the fact that children as individuals are different from one another.

A STEM approach to learning is an element of the RMS curriculum that is based on the idea of educating students in 4 specific disciplines- science, technology, engineering and mathematics- in an interdisciplinary and applied manner. The subjects are taught as one cohesive approach, instead of teaching each separately. We use this approach in order to equip our students from an early age with the tools they need to solve real world problems that each student will inevitably face in their future careers. As educators, we constantly strive to prepare students with 21^st Century learning skills and computer programming/coding is just one of the many ways that we do that. At RMS we introduce Dash and Dot robots and the fundamentals of programming in Kindergarten Montessori (JK) classes. These robots can be easily programmed using tablets to complete a variety of tasks, while teaching children the basics of programming. By teaching students coding concepts from such an early age, we are instilling in them a curiosity and ability to problem solve and innovate that will benefit them in their future careers.

Our staff and management believe that a warm, loving, safe and welcoming school is the foundation for great academic and personal achievement and growth. With a focus on each individual student’s potential, we allow each child to explore, interact and collaborate with classmates for greater learning opportunities. Children in the Kindergarten Montessori programme are encouraged from a young age to express and develop their creativity. They are introduced to and guided towards mastering concepts in math, science, computers, language, robotics, geography, social studies, music, art and French. Each student is encouraged to achieve his or her goals, as our excellent teachers guide them in the right direction, doing so with positive reinforcement and praise. Building a strong foundation and exceptional character is the fundamental focus at RMS!

Teachers Having Fun Making Videos on a PD day at RMS

Last Friday was a PD Day at the RMS campuses, and it was a busy day for teachers and staff who engaged in a full day of learning and lots of fun! Not only were teachers asked to participate in workshops on how to write clearer report cards for parents, but they were also provided time to improve their classroom management techniques and given an opportunity to practice hands-on skills by creating short films with WeVideo. It was clear to teachers that utilizing new in-classroom technology best practices can improve the learning experience. Click here to check out one of our favourite teacher created short videos on the RMS YouTube Channel!
