Noah’s Ark

Discovered this wonderful book at the library!  This book contains Bible’s Old Testament stories and is accompanied by kids illustrations per story.

For this week, we had Noah’s Ark.  It’s so inspiring to see kids interpretation of the story.

So I tried it with my little boy. Here he is drawing the “big ship” of Noah.

He added animals (see the ones on the sides), added skies, birds. 

He painted two images on top of the ark... “that’s Noah and his friend”.

We will be doing this weekly, and would most probably incorporate Bible verses and my best resource would be Carisa’s blog of Raising Rock Star.

Artist Study – Pablo Picasso

A few months ago, we look into the works of Pablo Picasso. With the Pablo Picasso books we have on hand, we did some practice!

Here, we’re doing Sylvette, the girl with a ponytail :)

           

 

Then we tried a cubist portrait.  The Dad is the model here :)

 

Then he wanted to make a portrait of himself lol.

Beginning and Ending Sounds (FREE Worksheets)

Before starting our Montessori Green Series, I gave Mavi some Pink and Blue Language worksheets for assessment.



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.
