We're using Montessori method to Mavi's homework. He loves it!
They were to practice reading and to spell the words written on the paper strips.
We used our moveable alphabet to form the words and at the same time write the words on a paper.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Here's another bead work we did the other day. The aim of the activity is to identify the two beads that would form the number in the number cards (2 parts and a whole).
First we laid out the number cards from 1 to 10.
Then we placed the bead correspondence of each number cards. After which, we started 2 and identify smaller numbers that would make 2. It was difficult for Mavi at first to grasp the concept. We went on slowly and I did most of the presentation.
In between, I would take 1 part of the bond and ask him for the other part. Say for 5, I put number 3 (part) and asked him the other missing part that would complete the number 5.
As you can see he is using his fingers to calculate the missing part.
I also encouraged him to count the beads instead of using his fingers.
I love how this activity ended. This will familiarize the child that bigger numbers can be formed by putting small numbers together (in different ways). This is also a good introduction to fractions, addition and subtraction.
We will be doing this again and again though as enjoys the mystery and the challenging of finding out the other part :)

We're about to finish our Green Series in Language Arts soon and we will be moving to grammar after. I like the Montessori Grammar Symbols and Reading Analysis materials, and knowing my son, he would love it too (he loves using symbols and objects). So after much research here are my thoughts on the preparation of materials.
Language Arts Album. I will be using Montessori Research and Development Language Arts Vol 1.
Grammar Symbols. I am still contemplating whether to purchase this or not. I really wanted to make my own using foam crafts but I still have to check our local craft store if they have the available colors used in the grammar symbols. Also, I have to look for the perfect storage to keep the symbols. If these fails, I might need to purchase from here. Purchasing will save me a lot of time, but it's a little bit pricey.
Grammar cards, sentences and materials. Will be looking for this around the net, or if I will have the luxury of time will create our own materials to use.
As of the moment, these are the materials I need to prepare. I just need to write it down to get it off my mind. We won't be starting until March. If I miss something, please do leave a comment.
