Mavi and I have been collecting leaves to use for our leaf/leaves study. I purchased this Botany Cabinet Shapes cards from Montessori Print Shop to introduce the different leaf shapes.

Ponds
Wednesday, May 30, 2012
We’re having Ponds Theme this week because we’re spending too much time at the park watching the animals at the park’s pond.
Mavi was so thrilled to see this mini-waterfall!
Admiring the swans.
We also fed the ducks. Ducks can walk on the ground...
and swim too!
More “Ponds” related activities coming soon :)
B4FIAR: Ask Mr. Bear
Monday, May 21, 2012
A few weeks ago, we rowed Ask Mr Bear and pull out a Farm Animals themed as well. My son loves this book to pieces and he can almost memorize it. There were times I can here him do a monologue using his animal figures (Safari Toobs) basing on the story.
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.

Story sequencing. To make it more interesting I added the objects the animals offered to Danny as a gift for his Mom. This printable was downloaded from Homeschool Creations.
