A little more reading analysis going on over here. I love when she giggles over the personalized sentences. I'm also noticing that she's growing up - I always write out two copies of the sentence. One for reference, and one to be cut up, manipulated, and then glued into her notebook. The last couple of times we've done this she hasn't wanted to do the gluing, she's choosing to write the words like I do. ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #homeschooler #montessorilanguage #montessorisentenceanalysis

DIY Pegboard I may have mentioned a few times before 😆 but my 9 year old is not, and has never really been a big fan of using the materials over and over. She sees something once and is done, or wants the drawing version. So, for under $5, I created a pegboard. I found an image of a pegboard on a google image search. I had an office store print the image for my on 11x17 cardstock, then trimmed off the excess. I bought a foam core poster board at the dollar store, cut in half and glued the two halves together for thickness, and I bought a couple of packs of push pins at the dollar store. Cheap, easy, and my lack of spending was rewarded this week when my big and I talked about moving from a representatiion of a square to a symbolic square. We started out by outlining a 14x14 square - we actually didn't have enough green pushpins to fill in the whole square. We imagined that the square was all filled in, then transformed the square to an symbolic square counting where groups of 10 green pins should be. I asked her if we should do another example and she groaned :) I asked her if we should do another example on graph paper and she was all for it. We divised a method for drawing out the square, counting along from the full representation, drawing out symbolic dots over the top, and outlining our final square. We'll revisit after Thanksgiving to make sure it's all sunk in, but the moral of this story is that for us, in our homeschool, a lot of times the full pretty wooden material just isn't worth it. And to be honest, the ones I take ages crafting (and love crafting) just dont get enough use. ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschool #homeschooler #montessorimath #montessorigeometry #montessoridiymaterials

I had an office store print the image for my on 11x17 cardstock, then trimmed off the excess. I bought a foam core poster board at the dollar store, cut in half and glued the two halves together for thickness, and I bought a couple of packs of push pins at the dollar store. Cheap, easy, and my lack of spending was rewarded this week when my big and I talked about moving from a representatiion of a square to a symbolic square. We started out by outlining a 14x14 square - we actually didn't have enough green pushpins to fill in the whole square. We imagined that the square was all filled in, then transformed the square to an symbolic square counting where groups of 10 green pins should be. I asked her if we should do another example and she groaned :) I asked her if we should do another example on graph paper and she was all for it. We divised a method for drawing out the square, counting along from the full representation, drawing out symbolic dots over the top, and outlining our final square. We'll revisit after Thanksgiving to make sure it's all sunk in, but the moral of this story is that for us, in our homeschool, a lot of times the full pretty wooden material just isn't worth it. And to be honest, the ones I take ages crafting (and love crafting) just dont get enough use. ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschool #homeschooler #montessorimath #montessorigeometry #montessoridiymaterials

DIY Pegboard I may have mentioned a few times before 😆 but my 9 year old is not, and has never really been a big fan of using the materials over and over. She sees something once and is done, or wants the drawing version. So, for under $5, I created a pegboard. I found an image of a pegboard on a google image search. I had an office store print the image for my on 11x17 cardstock, then trimmed off the excess.

A couple of weeks ago, I won my choice of printables from @modernmontessoriguide. One of choices were a set of Grammar in Art cards. I introduced them to my 6 year old today. To prepare, I helped her draw a table in her notebook. We read through the questions on the card to find out how many columns we needed, and what types of words we were going to hunt for. Once the table was drawn, we flipped to the other side of the card where we read through information about the painting and artist. As we discussed the painting we noted down nouns, adjectived, and verbs that we saw in our picture. At the bottom of the page we glued a mini version of the painting, and then discussed making up a sentence using some of the words from our word list. By this point she was done writing, so I scribed the sentence for her. We both enjoyed this activity. It was a great way for us to review parts of speech, bring some art/art history into our learning time, and create connections between different content areas. ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschool #homeschooler #montessorigrammar #montessorilanguageactivity

Another interdependence of humans lesson. This time we started with the farmer and thought about who he needed, but instead of stopping there we then saw that all those people need the farmer too. We dived off into a discussion about who else the farmer might need (doctors, dentists, etc) and thought about other people we need (electricians, trash collectors). As I broke up the lesson my little asked if she could make her own web. She ran right off and created a couple of new cards (cake maker and dentist), but then when she laid out and drew her web she ended up using other photo cards! That's ok. As we go about our day we've been talking about different people we interact with, why we need them, and who else we might all need. This work is getting us all to make some really great connections. Picture cards are from @modernmontessoriguide ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #homeschooler #montessorigeography #interdependenceofhumans
