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.

The leaves
are beginning to fall! We’re seeing a lot in our area so yesterday, we collected a few and brought it home. Vito immediately took our letter L dot sheets to go along with his new discoveries: fallen leaves!
Preschool Learning Letter A Activities

We’ve started letter activities again because of the renewed interest of Vito with our language materials. Let me just share with you some of these activities in case you needed ideas on how to start a letter of unit activity with your kids.
Montessori Inspired Autumn Themed Learning Activities
Saturday, September 16, 2017
I finally organized our shelf and added autumn-themed activity trays to go along with the change in season. Vito has been learning a lot from the outdoors, discovering new things (nature finds) and has been observing the changes in his surroundings. Now to extend this learning, I prepared these activity trays. How it works? These are prepared and placed in the shelf (except for the paints). At times, Vito would randomly select an activity and there are times I would place the activity tray on the table and invite him to play (or work) with me. If he’s not interested on the said activity, I let him return it back to the shelf and make him select a new one. This is how I check what’s miss and hit of the learning trays.
Note that this is a MONTH LONG of activities!
