Practical Life
Practical Life in the Montessori Classroom
Competence, independence, and the confidence to embrace change are among the most important foundations of the Montessori Method. These qualities are first cultivated through Practical Life—where children engage in meaningful, real-world tasks that foster self-discipline, responsibility, and mastery.
From early lessons like how to roll a mat or carry a tray, to more advanced work such as preparing meals or running a small business, the Practical Life Scope and Sequence offers a comprehensive resource for Montessori guides working with students from Toddler through Upper Elementary.
As children care for themselves, their environment, and one another, they develop fine and gross motor control, strengthen focus and coordination, and build the confidence that comes from doing real work with purpose.
To support this development, the Practical Life category is divided into sub-categories, with lessons sequenced in the order they are typically introduced in Montessori classrooms.
Scope & Sequence Format
The Practical Life Scope and Sequence is presented in an “online magazine” format. Lessons and materials are listed in the same sequence as they appear in the Montessori Compass online record-keeping system. Each lesson may include multiple elements—measurable learning objectives—tagged to the appropriate cycle year(s).
Where applicable, parent-friendly descriptions are included to help families better understand the purpose and value of these daily activities within the Montessori environment.

Share Photos
This just in… parents LOVE to see photos of their kids!
MC makes it easy to share photos of classroom activities. Photos can be uploaded to your account and instantly shared with your students’ adoring fans (i.e. their parents.) Photos are tagged to designated parent accounts, so parents only see what is relevant to them. To protect privacy, only users with a school-authorized, password-protected profile can access photos of classroom activity.
Real-time Student Metrics
Don’t wait for progress report time to evaluate student performance!
Monitor your classroom's progress in real-time, ensuring that each student is on track to achieve academic goals. View record keeping history by curriculum categories, individual lessons, and customizable standards. Utilize reports to help make decisions for lesson planning and future classroom activities.
Daily/Weekly Activity Reports
Like placing a sticky note in a child’s backpack each school day
Activity Reports help answer the age old question for parents… what did my child do at school today! Schools can choose to include lessons, notes, and/or trackers (i.e. naps, toilet training, meals, etc.) This brief summary of the child’s day helps make family time even better as parents can engage their children in a real conversation about their school day!
Record Observations
Like having a fresh sheet of paper in a student’s notebook each day!
MC makes it easy to record private or shared notes for each child in your classroom. Observations are automatically saved in real-time and shared with other staff members (great for team-teaching). Record a quick one-liner or multiple paragraphs. Jot down additional notes throughout the day, edit existing notes, and access historical notes at any time!
Customizable Trackers
Naps/Meals/Toilet/Paperwork - create custom trackers for any situation!
Replace paper forms for daily activities like naps/meals/toilet or keep an updated list of administrative paperwork/tasks. Trackers can be private or customized to be shared with parents via optional Activity Reports. Convenient reporting enables you to instantly see which students have completed a project or have turned in their paperwork.
Attendance
Start your day off with a cup of coffee and your easiest task of the day!
Student list automatically populates with correct names, based on day of the week. Mark all students present with a single click. Absence reasons are customizable, making accurate reporting a breeze. Just check off absent or tardy students, watch your data get auto-saved, and enjoy your coffee!
