We see and hear birds everywhere! We also enjoy a sight of intricately build nests and occasional chicks. We actually raised two years in a row a family of house finches, each time hatching…
We are beginning our 🐝Bee Study to defy any misconceptions and fear of these amazing insects (closely related to wasps and ants). Bees are very important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables. They transfer pollen…
We are longing for Spring, so today, we are upcycling by making a DIY Bird forest habitat craft with recycled toilet and towel paper rolls. As a base, we are using a white iPad…
Today, we are learning about polar regions of the Earth, also known as the Earth's ❄️frigid zones that surround Earth's geographical North and South Poles. These regions are very cold, covered by snow and polar ice…
While most adults do not have a deep affection for bugs, children, on the other hand, spend hours in a backyard flipping over rocks and inspecting blades of grass in search of the coolest…
We are continuing our BODY Anatomy unit study. Today, it is all about 💉blood! Recently, Adrian, after getting a scab, asked me: "What is blood made of?" 🤔The cells and particles that make up…
We are continuing our BODY Anatomy Unit Study by exploring how the amazing body mechanism works. It can be hard for a child to conceptualize what goes on the inside when most of the…
We need to eat and drink in order to survive, but it is the taste and smell that make these essential everyday activities so enjoyable! A tongue, our taste detector, is a big muscle…
In continuing with our 💉 Inside of the BODY Anatomy Unit Study, today, we are exploring the inside of the giraffe, an animal to whom we all hold a true and innate affection. Relative of okapi,…
How mysterious is the inside of the body! Children are simply fascinated to learn all about our body-machine that works day and night, without any rest, performing tasks no computer is capable of performing.…

“You can make almost anything out of 📦 cardboard” - said Adrian so here we are: an improved 🧮👌🏻 #recycleandplay
.
. 💡 The earlier you start introducing your little one to numerals and quantities, the more success they will have later on in their academic lives. We “officially” started a Montessori Math curriculum with Adrian when he was two years old! I am a strong believer that I would rather be early than late. If the material is introduced too early, a child would simply show no interest and you, as an educator, would simply come back to it later. On the other hand, if the material is introduced too late, the sensitive window of opportunity is closed forever and the chance for a seemingness, natural and effortless absorption of information is now gone! .
.
Remember, repetition is the key to mastery.

.
. 📦🧮 Punch Points :
1. a NUMERAL is a written symbol we, humans, decided to represent a particular quantity (written in black). 2. COUNTERS, also called manipulative, [here pony beads] help children build counting and subitizing abilities while expanding spatial awareness.
3. LEARN ADDENDS of each numeral 2-10!! If children memorize which combinations make each number, they will ace any math problem in a future.⚠️I purposely broke each number into its addends, well, most common combinations such as 5+5=10; 6+4=10 and so forth. .
💡 GOAL: to master SUBITIZING: which is the ability to instantly recognize without counting the number of objects present in a small group. So with practice, you child should instantly tell you what 6 is made of without counting actual beads! .
