The classical Montessori lessons of practical life are included in the Level One (3-6) Atrium sessions. Brass and silver polishing, flower arranging, pouring, folding, sorting and spooning are some of the lessons that promote fine motor control and extend concentration. This work ensures that children are successful and independent with future Atrium works such as the preparation of the cruets. Or work with Altar linens. The work also has a meditative quality. Children often return to the practical life work in order to contemplate a Biblical or liturgical lesson.
