First writing

M. is doing very well with her letters. She is keen in taking the Montessori sandpaper letters and passing her fingers on the one she knows indipendently. Now there are just a couple of letters left to discover and then she will know the whole alphabet! The most wonderful thing is that I do not force her to learn the letters, she is actually interested in learning them, she actively seek to learn more letters and to memorize better the ones she already knows. When we are out and about she keeps on calling me because she has spotted some letters she recognizes!

This morning I prepare for her a fun way to draw her first letters. Floor and fingers

Montessori time

M. is getting to know her letters, we use the sand paper letters to memorize each letter using eyes and touch, and then she has to say the sound of it.
Now she is proud to show me each and every letter she recognizes on bill boards, shops signs, neswpaper, books and every where.
Since she is very confident in some letters, I started to use the movable alphabet with her. I use a tool box to put in each space a few magnetic letters, and some small toys she has to guess the letter they start with.
With some help she is enjoying doing it. (she is doing it in her mother's toungue)





We are also keep on re-visiting the sand paper numbers, even if now she is quite confident in all the numbers to 10. She is now doing the exercise indipendently.



M. is also doing counting with the spindle box and the other materials




Here is she using the blue rods and put them in order from the longest to the shortest
