My very humble nature shelf. We studied conifers at the nature center homeschooling program. I love all the lessons, but I forgot my camera. An interesting book I found there was Winter Trees.
Reviewing two digit numbers
Blindfolded scent bottles. I love catching them doing activities together.
"Mom, let's do bugs!" We found a Korean poetry book on insects that works well with putting insects in their right continent.
They were using Montessori equipment for their building so I was elated when they were selling a crate full of blocks for only $10 at a moving sale.
Koko who was struggling with writing "y" was thrilled to form one with pipe cleaners that were originally for another activity. I think pipe cleaners cut in various lengths would work perfectly for practicing letter formation for some letters in the English alphabet and definitely the Korean alphabet.Koko and Cheeky have also been enjoying the reading command cards from Montessori for Everyone. They take turns picking a card (Koko reads it both of them) and then do the activities together. Koko also did the Consonant Blends a few times.

Ooh! Such wonderful work being done! The pipe cleaner idea for letter formation is ingenious! I have to try that and we need to introduce the Korean alphabet at some point too. What age do you recommend? Wish we lived nearby so we can share Montessori toys!
We should be pen pals or something like that!
I don't know what a good age to introduce Korean. Your daughter seems so bright that I think she would pick it up so fast, esp. if she has her numbers down already. I think in Korea, they start around three(American age). My friend also downloaded a bunch of (free!)Korean worksheets from a Korean yahoo website and is teaching Koko along with her son. There's also a bunch of Korean workbooks. Do you want me to ask her which ones she would recommend? Do you speak Korean fluently? I am actually not that great because I was born here..
