All About Montessori

[buds]

sunsweet:

During my child's playgp session she will have abt 15min free play b4 or after the class.. so grandma and her often have chance to play with the toy that is on the shelves.


I've seen my gal playing the box of 4 colour bears where they sort of the colours in the differnt plates.

she is very good at it.. and we use that to do not only recognising of colours (red, blue, yellow, green), sorting and also we do counting with it.

I was trying to find those balancing scale to teach her weight too.. but i dun see that in her class..

You idea of using toys to sort colours is also fun.. but usually 1 toy has many colors so might be difficult to explain to her

The acrylic card u mention i see many secondary colours mention.. i wonder we can DIY the cards.. cos it must be expensive to buy them.

Yup, just DIY please.. their materials are very expensive.
You can use beads or chips or pebbles - they sell in jars.
Can find at Learn thru Play. Or cheapo one from DAISO
oso caaannn! No problem. Just remember - the intent is
purposeful work, all right!

Yes, very good. Include counting... include other aspects
as well during those teachable moments. Just keep at it.
You'll see the results and be very satisfied... then can buy
me cappucino, ok! :lol:

Weighing scale Kiddie Palace and Toys R Us may have...
If i do see anywhere, i tell you ok.

Btw, can PM me the name of your child's centre?

You can try Amazing Star Montessori

lovely Tulip Montessori (Yew Tee) or
Ichiban Montessori (many centres in west).

I am SAHM, have freelance stints on and off and only if i feel like
doing! So long stay home becoming manja liao.. Next year when
both in Pri Sch, i'm gonna change status already, PTWM! Cannot
\"F\" yet. Mebbe much much later when kiddies more independent
and older.. see how. Still considering the helper issue laa...

*Ah-la-mak... sori if the \"F\" part sound a bit vulgar. No intention, k.

[sunsweet]

i wished i have the courage to go Part time or even quit my job…


but i dun think i can be financially dependent leh…

I’ll work harder this 2 year then see how…

maybe i will consider PTWM then…
