Activities after a 3-month break!

kj : 1 week shy from his 3rd birthday

im feeling pretty well today hence i must blog!

dh went for futsal comp, yes on a sunday, which is should not be the norm.

after his noon nap, we did some 'school'.

that is our language.

i use the term play school :)

i wrote the alphabets while making prodding him to recite the sound.

then we used the cotton bud to trace the alphabets with the paint.

i showed him letter 'a' and 'b' while he did the rest

after 1-2 minutes, he did this!

-________-

then he got up again and did a bit more.

some alphabets were done with aid.

the moment i did that, he wanted me to hold his hands all the way.

hence, it was a bad move!

well as u can see, at the end of it,

he went the opposite way and admired his artwork!

he self-praised " wow, so very beautiful o! "

which is great!

this is very montessori!

the child should stop and admire their own work! =)

next we quickly proceed to this activity !

the pouring activity.

after attending the montessori practical workshop last month,

im more geared to conduct lessons.

i just love this jug!

aint it cute!

he did this pouring activity with average accuracy.

did a couple of rounds and interest waned.

then i decided to show him the new 'toy'!

 Knobbed cylinder!

this is set 1.

they differ by diameter and height.

he could do it 90% the first time!

 second round he began experimenting.

tries to stack up...

tries to put a small cylinder into a larger hole and vice versa.

muttered to himself "this is big, this is small"

this merely shows that Maria Montessori is not a scam :)

that was all.

3 rounds in a sitting.

i hope we can go far with these.

during dinner tonight,

he asked for chinese mustard (sawi) !!

O.O

im thrilled!!!!!!!!!

keep it up young boy!

love your greens as much as mummy n daddy do!

and bless me that i will perk up soon!

cheers
