You'll understand the title of this post at the end of the following collection of photos from this (short) week in our classroom:
 |
| Setting up the Short Bead Stair for some teen number work. |
|
| Working with the First Color Tablet Box. |
 |
| Gluing lesson with smalls bits of crepe paper. |
 |
| Solid Cylinder Blocks: Two at a time. This lesson allows the child to practice visual discrimination of size while helping to prepare the hand for writing through the use of the pincer grasp. |
 |
| Matching Geometric Solids onto their bases and onto each other! |
 |
| Playing our Melody Harp to understand scale. We have been singing a song about leaves to go along with playing this instrument. What a peaceful sound it makes during our mornings... :) |
 |
| Practicing the Lacing Frame. |
 |
| Combining the Golden Beads with the Decimal System Cards. |
 |
| The beginnings of a Map of the World... |
 |
| ...with each continent meticulously pin pushed... |
 |
| ...and labeled... |
 |
| A complete Map of the World! |
I LOVE your map of the World! How young do you have children begin doing this geography lesson??
ReplyDeleteUsually, my older fours will enjoy this work. I have also seen some teachers introduce a simpler extension showing just land and water (brown and blue) for younger students, which I think is a great idea! I think they painted it rather than pin pushing...
