Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy’s Lower Elementary teachers welcome their students back to school on Tuesday, Sept. 8, handing out classroom work binders. Upper Elementary and Primary students received their work binders last week during student and family orientation visits. Although traditional Montessori teaching cannot be implemented wholly, due to the Southern Ute Tribe adhering to the Stay at Home order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The teachers are following required curriculum in accordance to the scope and sequence of the Montessori teaching virtually, while also making sure the students meet the state recommendations.
