Beginning and Ending Sounds (FREE Worksheets)
Monday, October 15, 2012
Well, I was disappointed for he wasn’t challenged at all! He finished both sets in less than 10 minutes.
Well I might as well think of another way of challenging him. For now, if interested, here’s a link to my Montessori Pink Series and Montessori Blue Series worksheets.
For ideas on the materials to use for learning how to read you can check this post, Beginning Reading: Language Objects and Activities.

Spanish 101
Saturday, July 7, 2012
We started learning Spanish last week. Here, he’s learning numbers and colors in Spanish. Since he knows how to read, he can easily match the labels both in English and in Spanish with the numerical number.
For colors, he already knows his verde, azul, amarillo and rojo. The rest he still needs to learn them yet. So these days, we’re using Spanish whenever we talk about colors so he can get the hang of it.
I am surprise that he knows a LOT of Spanish words, thanks to Dora maybe LOL.
B4FIAR: Ask Mr. Bear

Here are some pictures that best describes the activities we did to go along with the book.
Identifying beginning sounds using the printable pack which I downloaded as mentioned previously.
Where’s the Birthday Cake game which has the same mechanism as Where’s the Easter Card game. Another favorite math game!
Oh and this is exactly the reason why I seldom have time to post. This is out of topic, but we really really love playing outdoors.
Animal farm family matching game. The cards can be downloaded here. Well this is just my version, I made this because I was inspired by My Montessori Moments who has a COMPLETE set of animal families for download.
Lastly, we sort zoo and farm animals.
I am looking forward of rowing this again, and hopefully by then I have enough idea, resources and time to carry out additional activities.

Identifying beginning letter using clip cards and shadow matching.
Again, practice of writing skills.
We also read the book, Hey Diddle Diddle, which I got from the library. And made these stick puppets as we recite the rhyme. Read about the whole activity here.
Homeschool Wrap-Up (01.6 - 01.13)

An overdue post due to lots of work.
Color mixing
With the use of medicine dropper and food coloring. He attempted to paint a car (left picture) using the his mixes.
Pink Series
We’ve been doing this almost every day. Currently we’re doing the ‘objects and moveable letters’ and ‘objects and cards’. Next week we’ll be doing the abstract version, that’s using picture cards instead of objects. After which we also work on the worksheets for the Pink Series: beginning and ending sounds.
Since I don’t have a printer, I just wrote these beginning and ending letters on a cardstock, covered it with a contact paper (I don’t own a laminator) and made him use a dry erase pen. This way, we can always reuse our worksheets.
In case you want to know, here are objects for the Pink Series.
Math
We learned about time and how to read it. See my post here.
Then also had Addition for our Math. The concept here is similar to that of Montessori’s Addition Strip Board but instead we used blue and red bear counters. I plant to make another set using printed materials whenever my son progresses fromthis.
Painting
We do this almost everyday. He also request for his paints until we ran out of it :(
Botany: PLANTS AND FLOWERS
This week, we jumpstart our Plants and Flowers activities. Read about it here.

Homeschool Wrap-Up (12.5 – 12.9)
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
It’s so difficult these days to keep up with blogging! Since I still work (at home) I always procrastinate updating my blog and would rather playing with the little one.
Here are the things we did last week.
Instead of doing Advent Calendar, we made letter crafts for our Christmas Countdown. I talked about it here.
We talked about polar bears. This Usborne Beginner’s book has wonderful book about polar bears. It’s been my son’s favorite since I got it for him.
I also made control cards based on our Arctic Toob for matching game.
For math, I downloaded these penguins activity cards from Making Learning Fun. Here, Mavi is learning how to measure the temperature by reading the thermometer:) On the other picture, Mavi is practicing his learning skills by feeding the penguins with “candies”.
He worked on his number puzzle.
We also did some patterning activities using printables from 2 Teaching Mommies.
Aside from reading books and learning to read words using this, we also worked on our Alpha Phonics Boxes... by sorting objects starting with letters ‘dejyjkwvz’.
