Coding Lessons for Kids Using BBC Microbit Robot Car

Saturday, December 28, 2019

I've finally selected the platform that I will use in introducing Vito to programming.  We got this programmable car MAQUEEN from DFROBOT.  My reasons for selecting this toy are: simple to assemble, no operating system setup needed, web based visual programming editor, and abundance of peripherals that can be programmed such as: motors, LED lights, RGB lights, LED matrix display, distance sensor, temperature sensor, push buttons, infrared sensor, speaker, and so on.

Vito is still very young at this stage, 6 years old, to learn programming but with my supervision and thru play I hope to introduce him to the exciting things that can be done with programming.

CVC Word Search for Literacy plus FREE Sampler!

Saturday, December 7, 2019

Every cold winter season I always find ways to keep my little one entertained at home, as we can't spend time outdoors, my little one is always restless, asking for something to do!  And honestly, most of the time, I'm not in the mood for experiments and doing something messy with the boys (coz its winter LOL).  So I try to come up with easy to prepare but engaging activities to feed his energy.  And just like the classic old CONNECT THE DOTS activities, here's another NO PREP printable that kept him "working" in the afternoon when he's all "I NEED TO DO SOMETHING MOMMY".

I'm so happy to share our updated Holiday and Seasonal themed packs of our MORE OR LESS / COMPARING NUMBERS Activities in the shop.  I had a great time using these learning materials with Vito years ago when he was just beginning to learn about numbers and quantities.  To give you an idea on how we conducted the activity check it here, CHRISTMAS THEMED PACK with manipulatives.  The picture below is Vito's work.  He's still learning so he has a mistake in this one.

Coding Robot Toys Wishlist for 2019

Sunday, November 10, 2019

I'm preparing to introduce Vito to programming this coming year. I was planning to start with visual based programming or block based programming such as Scratch which Mavi used in his CoderDojo classes in the past years. But based on my recent research there are already a lot of kids toys these days that can be programmed with visual blocks. One class of toys make use of the BBC Microbit Makecode programming blocks. So for a more hands-on method to introducing or experiencing programming we plan to use some of the toys listed below.

I hope this list may be useful to you so your students can have a fun way to learn and be introduced to programming. And yes, these Programmable Robot toys can be good Christmas presents as well!!!

Weather Activity Trays for Kindergarten and First Graders

Tuesday, August 27, 2019

In this 12 Months of Montessori, I want to feature our Weather Activity Trays for Autumn/Fall. Change of season is always exciting and it is just right that we do some weather studies before the new season arrives.

Weather Activity Trays for Kindergarten and First Graders
Kids are always fascinated with the weather as this is something that they have experienced. Just by going outside and observing the sky, you can talk to your child about the weather, is it sunny? rainy? cloudy? windy? Sometimes they also get to watch this on TV or on the weather forecast news. Thus they become familiar with some words. To expand your child's curiosity about the weather and advance his/her knowledge, here are some activities that you might want to try.

Food and Nutrition Themed Shelf

Wednesday, June 19, 2019

Vito is currently obsessed with our Let's Read and Find Out Series.  I've started reading the level 1 series to him since April and he's hooked into it.  There are tons of books in the level 1 series that he's currently obsessed with but one book stands out, What's for Lunch.  The book introduces the basic food groups to children.  I was totally surprised about his interest in this subject area.  He's becoming curious of what he eats lately and drinking more milk than usual.

Food Pyramid and Food Groups Activities for Kids

Monday, June 17, 2019

Vito loves the book, What's for Lunch?!  He loves learning all about the food groups, on what food will help him have stronger bones and teeth, food that will give him energy, and food that will keep him healthy.  I love that he developed this interest early on.  I think that it's important to educate little ones about healthy food because right now, he's super conscious on what he eats, and he's more eager to eat fruits, drink lots of milk and water!

Food Pyramid and Food Groups Activities for Kids
Come take a look at some of the learning activities that we worked on to support his interest on food.

Playing Flockmen in Five Fun Ways

Saturday, June 1, 2019

By now, you have heard about Flockmen.  You've seen it everywhere, from Instagram, to Facebook and homeschool moms and Montessori/Waldorf schools and families.  Flockmen are wooden toys which take the form of little men and are used for open ended play.  By default, most people use them for building structures by stacking Flockmen together.  But in our home we use them in a lot of ways and I'm going to highlight five of these fun ways we use our Flockmen.

Introducing the 6 Kingdoms of Life

Friday, May 17, 2019

Months ago, after watching an episode of Brainchild on Netflix, the boys got super interested with knowing more about bacteria.  They have so many questions about the biodiversity of life such as, if  a bacteria is an animal or a plant? is it an alien species? The curiosity  and eagerness to learn led me to introduce the Six Kingdoms of Life.

I know, this is elementary work, but I managed to pull-out activities that worked perfectly for both boys (10 and 5 years old).

Montessori Inspired Europe Continent Study for Kids Part I

Thursday, May 16, 2019

With our recent trip to Spain, I decided to do a brief Europe Unit for Vito while he still can't stop talking about his plane ride and how fun it was to go to places.  The activity trays I prepared for him are designed for kids 5 years and older.  This is the first part of our unit and most of these are introductory lessons to maps and flags.  I've never had a Europe Unit with him before so I kept this simple and we'll be doing more in-depth activities as he progresses.

Sarah's Silks has been one of our "must haves" for years.  I've been seeing them everywhere from Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and even my fellow homeschooling mom friends have been using them for years too.  Thus, I was totally excited when Sarah sent me an entire collection of her Enchanted Playsilks for the boys to use and play!  When it finally arrived, the boys immediately used them for hours of play and have been one of their most used "toys" since then.

Life Cycle of a Frog Learning Activities

Friday, March 29, 2019

Nothing beats hands-on learning, but because we have no access to tadpoles and frogs, we just rely on books, educational toys and create meaningful materials to achieve the "hands-on experience".  With the success of our Water Cycle activities, I made a similar learning pack for our frog life cycle.  The learning pack is perfect for kids ages 4 to 7 years old, something that will grow with your child through the years.  It contains different activities for different stages of learning for the child. All you needed to do is print the one that suits your needs.

Parts of a Frog Learning Materials for Kids

Friday, March 22, 2019

We are learning about frogs and we started our unit by learning about the body parts because Vito wanted to know if they are similar to his (to humans).  Again, our Parts of a Frog Learning (ZOOLOGY BUNDLE Pack) came in handy in exploring the body parts of a frog and the activity sheets I included in the pack were really helpful in extending the learning activity for enhancing the retention of concepts.

If you are a homeschooler or a teacher looking for learning materials about frogs, then continue reading this post to learn more about this learning material and the activities that we worked on.  The cards are simple and clear and are easy for young learners to use.  The activity sheets are provided as I have observed through the years that these materials for tracing, coloring, and making booklets are effective in engaging young learners.

Montessori Inspired Blue Series - Learning about Consonant Blends

Wednesday, March 13, 2019

With Vito reading CVC words and sight words, we are now moving to the Blue Series.  The Blue Series is a Montessori approach in learning consonant blends and digraphs.  I made an entire set of blue series materials for Vito to use in the course of his learning.  We will work on these materials  and move on to the next set as he progresses.  In this post, I will give you an overview of the materials and how we are going to use them.

It is important to note that the blue series (blends and digraphs) comes after the pink series.  Once the child is familiar with letter sounds and can basically read CVC words (pink series) then he/she can move on to the blue series.

Introducing Life Cycles to Younger Kids

Tuesday, February 26, 2019

In our home, springtime brings a renewed focus on the topic of life cycles. As a parent, I am often asked how to introduce the concept of metamorphosis, larva, pupa and more to young children who may not be able to visualize these processes. It is a fascinating subject that is easy to understand. I begin by telling engaging stories that help children understand that just like humans, baby animals come from their mothers and fathers. Some animals start their life as eggs and then undergo a gradual transformation that ultimately leads to adulthood. 

To help explain these concepts more effectively, we use a variety of learning materials that bring these life cycles to life for children. As we follow the "Montessori" philosophy in our homeschool, we prefer to use hands-on learning experiences that allow children to explore and learn in a natural way. Whether it's using specialized learning materials or observing real-life examples in nature, we strive to make learning about life cycles as engaging and interactive as possible.

St. Patrick's Day Preschool Mini Unit

Thursday, February 21, 2019

I'm so excited to share our St. Patrick's Day Mini Unit!!!  I am delighted to hear that you are enjoying all of our Mini Unit series and Full Preschool Centers! We have been developing these activities for years, ever since my eldest child was in preschool. However, I did not share the printables in the shop back then. Now, I am thrilled to be able to share them with you so that you can enjoy the benefits of these resources too.

I am pleased to present our St. Patrick's Day Mini Unit, packed with enjoyable and stimulating activities for preschoolers, pre-k, and kindergarten children. This package includes various activities to help your child practice fine motor skills, alphabet tracing, hands-on math, and more! If you want more St. Patrick's Day-themed materials, please visit our website by clicking here.

Learning About Sharks for Kids

Tuesday, February 19, 2019

Vito has been really interested in sharks lately.  We had some Shark Unit Study (Montessori Inspired Shark Study for Kids) years ago together with my eldest, but Vito was so young then that all he could ever do was do some simple matching activity with our Safari Toob Sharks.  Now that he's a bit older, I prepared some simple activities for him to learn more about sharks, what's their difference with whales, and how similar are they to humans.

Asia Continent Study for Kids

Monday, February 11, 2019

We love to travel and going to places, thus geography is very important in our homeschool and I make sure that we do continent and country studies yearly.  Now, this is not the first time I introduced Vito to Asia.  We've worked with a lot of continent activities before and because he is much older now and able to understand and grasp concepts, I reintroduced Asia once again.  Below are some of the works we had for the past 2 weeks we spent on learning about Asia.  It took us 2 weeks to finish because he got sick within the time frame so we paused in between.

Here are some of the activities that we included in this year's Asia Study:

Valentine's Day Letter and Number Cards

Friday, February 8, 2019

What I like about homeschooling is being able to make themed materials for my kids that will go along with certain seasons or holidays.  Because Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I made these beautiful and cute teddy and heart letter and number cards perfect for home and school settings.  We use these types of learning cards in so many ways, and I have listed a few of those activities below for your reference.  Enjoy!
