School Week 10
October 11th - 15th
Time Work. I created small time cards for the kids to practice.
On one side I have the time written like so: 10:15. On the other side there is a clock face with the answer. They look at 10:15 and create the time with the red foam clock from Target $1 section and then look on the back to check their answer.
Bella is working on Whole Hour: 12:00, 1:00, 2:00 etc..
Sweet Boy is working on everything else! He had already learned whole and half hour at his previous school so I started with quarter hour and then went to all other times.

Leaf Study
We began our leaf study when Bella asked me to go with her to pick leaves.
This was over a month ago. Our study lasted about a month.
Here Bella has her bag of leaves and decided she needed to trace them in her notebook. |
Both Bella and Sweet Boy did leaf rubbing. |
Another week I presented the nomenclature - Parts of a Leaf for Elementary Age. |
I made this Felt Work for Bella since we do not have a Leaf Puzzle. This is very simple, great for 3-5 year olds. I got this work free from Maybe Montessori. |
On another week, we reviewed and got leaves to look at the different parts on real leaves. |
On a bike ride around the neighborhood we picked lots of leaves and taped them to cards and worked on naming them. I wrote the names on the back. |
On another week we used our leaves to sort by leaf margins, blade shape, and veins. |
