Montessori Wrap-Up

Monday, October 3, 2011

Mavi is 37 months old.

September 26 to October 2, 2011.

Pink Series

Practice CVC words using our pink series sets 1 to 4.

He loves our reading activities and I was surprise that he reads using their sounds not through memorization.

Then we worked with our ‘rambitg’ alphabets and try to build CVC words from it. I really would like to instill in him that using letters, we can form words!  This also increased his vocabulary for he learned some new words like: rib, tab, bar, fig etc.

We made trees using oil pastels.

Phonics

I talked about it here.

Math

Read about our math lessons here.

Since it was also raining, I made use of our size ordering cards which I downloaded from Confessions of a Homeschooler two years ago. He’s learning sizes here and using “smallest” “biggest” and “bigger” words.

Art

Attempting to do a Kadinsky painting.  It was a lovely day so I took him out on the balcony to paint.

Too bad, the paper we used were not made for watercolor :(

Here’s my version. I was also painting with him so I can show him what to do and describe the mechanics.

Drawing and Writing

These activities were his favorite this week.  He kept on making drawings and describing them with words that he alone can understand.  I ask him “what is it?” and he would say something like “it’s a blurg”.  Still I admire it in front of him and telling him that he did a great job.

This is a table.

Practice writing his name.

All About Trees

Friday, September 30, 2011

Mavi is 37 months old.

Want to share with you our themed activity this week which is all about trees!

I was really inspired to do this because we’ve got lots of wonderful and huge trees in our backyard.  So we just have to make use of its presence and I need to instill on Mavi the importance of trees in our life :)  Although we’ve done this before, we didn’t get the chance to do outdoor and nature trips.  And as I mentioned in that post that we will probably do this theme again, and I was glad that we did because the boy had so much fun learning about trees.

First we started discussing sizes of trees.  We went to a nearby park and showed the little guy what’s it like to be in a forest full of trees.

Then we ate ice cream on the field.  As we do, I discussed all about the shade that the tree behind us produced.

Back at home, play the matching game of tree shapes and sizes.  This is a homemade printable and the graphics where taken randomly from the internet.

  DSC_1228

I love that he loves matching games! And the sight of him concentrating while working is precious.

                    DSC_1239DSC_1231 

We made use of our 3-part nomenclature card for Parts of the Tress.  Again this is homemade. I was saving ink so I just colored it using our crayons.The book was given to him by his godfather on his 3rd birthday and it was very very useful.

And of course, we have to draw a tree!  As I was doing mine, I kept on discussing to him the color that I use in making a trunk, roots, grass, leaves etc.  He followed, and was doing his own version of a tree right beside me.

He’s making a trunk with branches.

Followed by green leaves. Later I told him we should add orange leaves to represent Fall.

DSC_1262

And this is what he came up later on.  He added grass with red and pink flowers (he dictated the color), added yellow sun and blue skies.

DSC_1269  

Our felt Tree puzzle. 

DSC_1290

Practice writing trees.  The first two he needed to trace (I wrote the tree word using a pencil), then later  he had to write the word tree on his own (no guide).

DSC_1293

We made our outdoor tree using some twigs and braches and punched fallen leaves.  He enjoyed this.

                    P1020634P1020631

And we explored more of the trees in our area.  I told him that trees are very important for they provide us fresh air, a place to rest and play, cool surroundings and lots lots more.  That we have to thank God for trees, for their existence.

My favorite favorite shot of him. He loves climbing tress!

P1020639

Oh and that’s him playing underneath the tree.  It is such a gigantic tree that my son looked so little with it.

Till next time!
