Middle School Students Teach Communication Skills to Lower Elementary with Games

Middle School Students Teach Communication Skills to Lower Elementary with Games
Jennine Friess

One of the components of a Montessori education is the mixed-aged classrooms. At MAC, we take it a step further. On occasion, our Middle School students get the opportunity to demonstrate lessons to the Elementary students. This past week the Lower Elementary students met with the Middle School students to discuss accountability. They talked about their class charter and which items they could work on as a class. The children agreed they could improve upon the way they all communicate to each other. The Middle School students then guided them through communication games that involved verbal cues and instruction to meet an end goal.
