Welcome to our Montessori History class for Grades 1-3! We introduce young learners to the fascinating world of history through engaging, interactive activities that lay the groundwork for understanding time, civilizations, and historical developments. We aim to make history come alive and foster a deep appreciation for the past.

We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada.

In this class, students will explore fundamental concepts of history, including the idea of time and how it shapes our understanding of past events. They will learn about the cycle of time, the significance of timelines, and how different centuries and eras have contributed to human progress. By examining early humans and ancient civilizations, students will gain insight into how societies have evolved and their impact on the present.


Topics Covered

Concept of Time: Students will begin by understanding the basic concept of time, including its measurement and significance. Activities will include creating simple timelines to visualize how different periods fit together.

Cycle of Time: Learners will explore the cyclical nature of history, discovering how certain events repeat or influence one another over time. This will involve studying historical patterns and trends.

Timelines: Through hands-on activities, students will create and interpret timelines to place historical events in context. They will learn to recognize and order significant events and periods.

Century and Era: The class will cover different centuries and historical eras, helping students understand how these large divisions shape our historical perspective. They will explore key developments and changes during these times.

Early Humans and Civilization: Students will delve into the lives of early humans and the rise of ancient civilizations. They will learn about the daily lives, achievements, and challenges faced by early societies.


Class Structure

Each lesson will start with a brief lecture to introduce the day's topic, ensuring that students have a clear understanding of the concept. The teacher will then demonstrate how to use materials and worksheets relevant to the topic. After the demonstration, students will work independently or in small groups on activities, allowing them to apply what they have learned. The teacher will provide real-time feedback to support their learning and address any questions.

Our teaching approach emphasizes small group activities where each student gets a chance to participate actively. Dynamic exercises such as interactive games, role-playing historical events, and creating visual timelines will make learning engaging and memorable. We use a variety of tools, including slides, video clips, and discussions, to bring historical concepts to life.

Our style is fun, engaging, and productive, designed to ignite curiosity and a love for history. We believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience, and we strive to create a stimulating environment where students feel excited about discovering the past.

Students will have frequent opportunities to interact with the teacher and their peers. Through lectures, interactive games, slides, video clips, and discussions, each child will be actively involved in exploring historical concepts. This collaborative approach ensures that every student receives personalized attention and engages deeply with the material.


Join us in the Montessori History class, where young learners embark on an exciting journey through time. With engaging activities and a supportive learning environment, we prepare them to appreciate the rich tapestry of history while developing critical thinking and analytical skills.
