Chinese New Year Mini Preschool Unit

Are you celebrating Chinese New Year? We are learning about this Chinese national holiday for familiarity and for the boys to understand that some Filipino traditions were adapted from Chinese culture.


Vito and I worked on a brief Chinese New Year Unit last week. The resources we used were from the Chinese New Year Mini Preschool Learning Pack I created for him years ago.

Our Montessori-Inspired Shelf for Winter

I’m back after a few weeks of hiatus!  I’ve been focusing more in our homeschool that I didn’t have time to write a post about our activities for the past 2 weeks.  Anyway, here’s the shelf that I've setup weeks ago and the main theme for this setup is “winter”.  This year, we’ll be doing small study units for science and culture but we will work our way thoroughly (taking our time) in reading, writing, and math.

Winter Themed 1-10 Counting Activities

If you love themed activities, you will surely love these winter counting printable activities we have in the shop.  These materials promote hands-on mathematics and enable children to practice writing and do some fine motor skill works.

Ten Frames

Vito enjoys these “scenic” ten frames as I often call them. Currently, we have 3 different beautiful designs that can go along with any of your winter themes.  Here Vito is working on our kids winter themed ten frames.  He was disappointed that it didn’t snow here last Christmas so I gave him a few snowy themed activities.  There are two types of activities included in our one to ten counting ten frames.

Collection of Winter Books for Kids

Christmas books are back in storage, and winter books are out for us to explore! Here are some of the books we own and will read throughout this winter.
