Winter Animal Life Cycle Studies

Monday, December 21, 2020

Happy Winter Solstice!! What have you been doing so far in celebrating the arrival of winter?  In our home, I read books about the shortest day of the year to the kids and how other places in the world welcome this new season.  You can check our winter books collection here to see what we have been reading so far.

Parts of a Leaf Study for Kids

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

Autumn is the time for our leaf study and while doing so Vito keeps calling the leaf's midrib as "stem".  Instead of correcting, I decided to give him a proper lesson on the parts of a leaf.  This is for him to know what each part is called and be able to understand how these parts function.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Life Cycle of Apples for Preschoolers

Sunday, September 9, 2018

Autumn time is apple season and the perfect time to learn about them!  We started our “apple” week last Monday and today Vito and I just finished learning where apples came from.  I was so inspired by our Water Cycle activity (Vito loved this activity so much!) that I decided to do the same approach with our apple study.

Spin and Trace: Alphabet Writing Game for Preschoolers

Sunday, June 24, 2018

Last month, I made these tracing and writing sheets for Vito to add some spice in his writing activities.  He loves the salt tray and Montessori sandpaper, but these sheets are so helpful as they require less preparation and no mess.  The activity sheet requires you to create a spinner using a paper clip and a pencil (or a pushpin if you have one).  Colored pencils or markers are also needed.

Dinosaur Excavation Activity

Tuesday, April 10, 2018

I have a spare dinosaur excavation kit which I kept for years, waiting for Vito to be old enough to work on it.  Well, that time finally arrived and I gave it to him so he’ll experience what it’s like to be an archaeologist, even for a day.  Here’s a pretend play of how scientists are able to put up dinosaur bones in the museums!

Fruit Unit: Inside and Out Matching Activity

Monday, March 19, 2018

We had a fabulous time last weekend examining the insides of fruits.  We did a similar activity years ago, but I didn’t want to put paints on fruits this time so I made this gorgeous matching learning material for Vito to work around with instead of recreating the insides using paints.  More details on this fruit learning material here.  This is easy to prepare and fun to work with kids!

Hands-on Learning on the Human Body for Preschoolers

Sunday, February 18, 2018

Vito is getting more interested in how his body works, especially that a few months ago, he got sick and I have to discuss some important things to him about his health and body.  With this, I started reading to him some of our body books, explaining what happens to the food that he eats, to the water that he drinks, and why he has blood when he has a cut.

Montessori Inspired Space Themed Learning Activities

Saturday, February 10, 2018

We are moving to new things this week as Vito’s interest is starting to be directed more about his body and senses.  For the past few weeks, we’ve been doing work about the moon, the planets, and space.  Here’s a roundup of our activities in learning about the solar system and space in general (in no particular order).

Hands-on Learning of Constellations for Preschoolers

Thursday, February 8, 2018

Vito and I were exploring constellations earlier this week as we were reading about the Big Dipper.  He was fascinated that I extended our activity into pin poking to recreate the formation of the stars (constellations).
