Today we heard the 3rd Great Lesson story. The Third Great Lesson in the Montessori tradition is known as the Coming of Humans, or the Timeline of Man. This lesson focuses on the skills and gifts that set humans apart from other animals in the world.
Beyond the fundamental abilities and characteristics that define humans, students also explore the history of many of the more recent developments that set humans apart; transitioning from foraging to agriculture, developing tools, and creating cave art.
After hearing the story we created drawings using carcoal. Our pictures were of what is important to us.
