Our little explorers (ages 3–6) swapped the classroom for the stables today, and what a *magical* morning it was!
From the moment we arrived, the air was filled with excitement and a few happy “neighs.” Our students got hands-on experience learning about these gentle giants. Here’s a peek into our day:
Grooming: We learned how to use soft brushes to make the horses’ coats shine.
Feeding: Our brave adventurers practiced their “flat hands” to feed crunchy carrots and apples.
Riding: The highlight of the trip! Seeing the confidence grow on every child’s face as they took their first pony ride was priceless.
To wrap up our big day, we headed over to the Equestrian Cafe. The children enjoyed a sumptuous lunch while watching the horses train on the racing field right outside our window. Talk about a “room with a view!”
We are so proud of how brave, respectful, and curious our little learners were today. Thank you to the wonderful staff for hosting us and teaching us all about equine care!
In the Montessori “Walking Around the Sun” birthday celebration, the child typically walks anti-clockwise.
Why counterclockwise?
It reflects the real movement of the Earth around the Sun when viewed from above the North Pole. In astronomy, the Earth and most planets orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. Representing this direction helps keep the activity aligned with Montessori’s idea of connecting the child to real cosmic order.
This also fits with the philosophy introduced by Maria Montessori in Cosmic Education, where children learn about their place in the universe through accurate, concrete experiences.
