Our Penguin Preschool Mini Unit became a favorite since I published it early this year. With its popularity, I decided to create SHARKS PRESCHOOL MINI UNIT to provide fun hands-on learning activities to preschoolers who are absolutely in love and obsessed with these creatures!

Introducing Life Cycles to Younger Kids
Tuesday, February 26, 2019
Springtime is all about life cycles in our home. And I'm often asked how do I introduce life cycles to our little ones and to those who couldn't visualize the concept of metamorphosis, larva and pupa, and etc. It's pretty easy and simple though. I start by telling stories that like humans, baby animals come about through their mommies and daddies. Some start from egg and then they develop or grow into an adult just like humans. You also need to have some learning materials to help explain these things better to kids. Because we are observing the "Montessori" philosophy in our homeschool, we use learning materials that can provide realistic presentations of these life cycles to the kids. Also if possible, provide a hands-on learning experience using the same learning materials or through real life observations in nature.

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.

Our Montessori-Inspired Shelf for Winter
Tuesday, January 15, 2019
I’m back after a few weeks of hiatus! I’ve been focusing more in our homeschool that I didn’t have time to write a post about our activities for the past 2 weeks. Anyway, here’s the shelf that I've setup weeks ago and the main theme for this setup is “winter”. This year, we’ll be doing small study units for science and culture but we will work our way thoroughly (taking our time) in reading, writing, and math.

Learning About Leaves
Thursday, September 27, 2018
The last week of September has brought us to explore more about leaves.

Below are some of the activities (and ideas) on leaf studies and links to the resources that we used.

Montessori Teens and Tens Extension Work
Sunday, September 2, 2018
A few weeks ago, I shared some of the extension works that Vito was doing on the teens and the tens on my Instagram. We didn't own the complete set of Sequin Boards, so I decided to make our own materials to do more exercises and not be limited by the boards. I have talked about learning about teens the Montessori way here and in this post. In this post, I will give you a walk-through of how we learn more about the tens and how we practice counting bigger numbers (from 11 to 100).
