Vito’s favourite work in the morning are our pink series cards (we try to work on one vowel sound a week) and these beginning sound activity sheets. I made these cards years ago (just revamped them) and used them with Mavi, it’s one of his favourite language works. Because Mavi can write letters at 3 years old, we didn’t get to use our moveable alphabet and instead he would just write the missing letters.

Introducing the Montessori Pink Series for Beginning Reading
Tuesday, October 31, 2017
I've talked about Vito’s sensitive years for letters in my Instagram account. Since September, he’s been into letter sounds, identifying beginning letter sounds, sorting objects according to sound, making rhymes, forming words, pretending to read and deciphering words etc. so I decided to give him a “structured” activity on alphabets. Here’s what we have been doing so far:
- Five in a Row activities that are tied to a letter
- A letter of the week kind of activity to go along with a holiday or season (letter l and letter a)
- Reading lots of books
- After learning a letter, we would read and create his own phonics booklet
During the course of these activities, I observed that he would try to decipher a word, or pretend to create words using sticky tapes, in writing and using our moveable alphabet. Plus, he knows 90% of the letter sounds (though he's still confused with c and k). With the signs, I knew he would be ready for the Montessori Pink Series. And oh boy, it was the best decision I made!
Learning The Human Skeleton for Preschoolers
Wednesday, October 18, 2017
We’ve been singing a lot of Halloween songs at home lately and Vito was fascinated with the Skeleton Dance song. I decided to give him some activities on skeletons just like what Mavi and I did years ago (The Skeletal System).
Preschool Learning Letter L Activities
Saturday, October 14, 2017
Presenting our letter “l” activities! We’ve started “letter of the week” kind of activities since September because of Vito’s interest in letter sounds and reading. We’ve been reading FIAR books over the summer and this led him to further explore words and language activities.
Hands-on Learning on Animal Habitats for Preschool
Thursday, September 28, 2017
Last week, Vito and I revisited world biomes and animal habitats as we were talking about the fact that not all places in the world have forest whose leaves turn into yellow or orange. This discussion led to a series of presentation of the world’s biome like desert, rainforest, taiga etc. Our printable from the shop was very handy when I presented this Vito because of the pictures, and he was very interested on the animals living on each biome.
Hands-on Learning of Geometric Shapes
Monday, September 25, 2017
Vito is currently in the mood for learning geometric shapes. I guess he was inspired by his older brother who is currently studying basic geometry at home. Vito has passed the stage of basic shapes, the ones you see in children’s puzzles and the like. He’s been playing with those since he was a toddler, so I decided to introduce him to geometric shapes in the Montessori classroom. It would have been nice if we own the Geometric Cabinet, but because we can’t afford one and we don’t have space for it, these insets which are basically materials for writing is a good alternative (best to none). Note that these are not the traditional metal insets, we are using the plastic version.
