Counting skeletons....many of the kids can count very high but we are working on matching the numeral symbol to the correct quantity. Here they use the sandpaper numbers one at a time and count out the correct number of skeletons to match. The Montessori lingo here is "This says five.....this is five."

We are learning about seeds! Here the children put the pictures in order to show how the seed grows! This is a popular sequencing work in our classroom right now. Sequencing is very important in higher brain function. A simple work like this is an easy activity to make and practice at home. Just laminate some pictures and put velcro circles on them....they can do it again and again!

Here are some Lima beans that I soaked overnight. The children were able to discect them and remove their seed casing (we called it seed skin in class). The seeds had already started to grow inside! Some of the kids loved this and some thought it was disgusting...lol!
