Today, we got to be a bit more intentional, though, and we went for a nature walk -
We collected leaves, acorn pieces, and sticks. And saw ants and wasps.
Plus, we spent 2 FULL hours on inside Montessori time. First, the fabric swatches -
He will need a new presentation next time. As a note, he found the matching very easy, but the placing of the swatches very difficult. This activity is more of a fine motor work for him than a sensorial one.
He brought out the discs in a slot with 10 quarters....and gave me some ideas for future homemade math works.
As always with the quarters we did a lot of counting repitition.
Next, he worked with his new flower card gluing activity (a practical life work).
He packed this one away by himself, but I put it on the shelf.
Next, Elijah wanted to read the Bob books, pre-reading series 1. (pre-reading series 2 may be something to ask for for birthday or Christmas).
We spent almost a full hour and read 11 of the 12 books. He's really into these right now.
Last, we played a number memory game.
But, I think I jumped the gun on this and made the game way too difficult. But I have an idea for next time.
