Product Description
 
The Preserving Our Environment card material is a sorting and decision-making work. A blank chart, referred to in Montessori as “mute” is used to label three main categories, Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce. Students sort through thirty picture cards describing examples of each of the three categories. A control chart represents an answer key of a sort. It’s important to recognize (and encourage!) different and equally valid opinions on these examples. The nature of the work lends itself to multiple “correct” answers. When I choose to reuse a plastic bottle for my drinking water am I also reducing my purchasing of new water bottles? Yes! Can I then recycle that same bottle? Sure! In other words, don’t get hung up on the right answer, wrong answer here. The value is more in the discussion, more in the critical thinking. As is so often the case in Montessori, the path is often more important than the destination.

This set includes:
  • 1 control chart
  • 1 mute chart
  • 30 laminated and cut picture cards
  • 1 lesson plan
  • 1 box to hold picture cards
