"Keep your kids learning through the summer!"
Here are a few Montessori-inspired things I have been doing with the kids this summer:
Above is Kristofer's shelf of "work" he can get out daily when he wants. He's only 3 1/2, so if he feels moved to learn, he can grab it off the self himself (everything is on a tray) and work at the table. He loves it and really takes ownership for what is his "work" on the sehlf. The first picture is his alphabet sound boxes and below are the shelves with various works.
Nature is going to be a very big part of my homeschooling style. Above is a bucket of tadpoles from Granpa's pond that we are currently feeding and watching them grow! Kristofer has already discovered some have their legs and others don't!
Kathryne loves to "wash" EVERYTHING - dishes, her hands, the counters, floor, etc. So I decided to show her how to wash her baby. She washes her face, body and hair nicely and then dries her baby off when she's done! It was a big hit!
Last...just today we found THREE TREASURES! First, a bird's nest that I know was unoccupied, a big turkey feather and not pictured is a catepillar that we put in a jar to observe! It was an exciting day for the kids!
Keep those kids busy in a fun way this summer - there are soo many ways to learn!
