25.01.2022 Wishing everyone a safe, happy and a healthy holiday break. Looking forward to see our students back at school on MONDAY, 20 July 2020.

25.01.2022 Upper case and lower case letter match up. A great activity using the sandpaper letters to introduce letter recognition of upper case alphabets (capital letters) and matching them with their lower case counterparts. The upper case letters are usually introduced when the the child has a good foundation with the lower case letters. In course of time, the alphabetical order is also introduced. . .... . . . . . #lettermatching #letterrecognition #banksiamontessorischool #sandpaperletters #montessori #montessorikids #montessoriclassroom See more
