Montessori Language Arts: I Spy Activity
I honestly didn't buy the Sound Boxes (Bags) because K has been doing so well with his letter sounds since he was very young, that I didn't feel the need to get them. So, instead of that activity, I found some I Spy pictures online and printed 2 copies of each. The first copy was kept intact, but the second one is where I'd cut out 6-8 pictures and taped them to the top and bottom of the first I Spy page. Those are now the objects her must find. Eventually, I'll make some with just words of the objects instead of pictures.

| Unrolling the mat, Montessori style. We always use mats while working on Montessori activities, so learning to roll and unroll the mat properly is very important. |
Bible Class: God made the sun, moon, stars and clouds
I use Karen Henley's curriculum and I love it! K does, too. It comes with a book and a CD with songs. Each lesson is easy to prepare and fun to teach. K loved the songs in this lesson so much that he asked to play them over and over. He had no idea that I had prepared different textures for the sun (foam stickers), moon (crayons), stars (chalk), and clouds (contact paper and cotton balls), I simply asked him which he wanted to make first. He chose moon first, then sun, stars and finally, clouds. I must say, the cloud was the most fun to make. It was K's favorite. And obviously, we also discussed other things that God made. A very cool and successful lesson.
