Botany

Each classroom is organized so that opportunities for the study of plants can occur. Students are provided with experiences to care for indoor and outdoor plants, sow seeds, and review plant materials to learn about how things grow. Also, books, nomenclature cards, scientific names for plants and roots with hands-on exploration are included in the curriculum. 

Cultural Studies

At CTMS, two continents are studied in depth every year. Students are exposed to customs, literature, music, food, and artifacts for hands-on activities from around the world. Traditions and holidays of people from all the continents are celebrated throughout the year with art projects, costume making, dramatic performances, and food preparation.

Geography

Children learn their place on Earth through geography lessons. The continents are studied through exploration of large colorful puzzles, maps, and flags. Countries and cultures are studied through collections of photographs and sharing cultural traditions and holiday celebrations. Counting and singing in different languages is also part of the geography curriculum. Landforms, the parts of a flag, and astronomy enhance the geography lessons at CTMS.
