Did You Know (Listerine)?:
Listerine, beyond its oral hygiene uses, can be employed for various cleaning tasks around the house due to its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. It can be used to clean floors, glass surfaces, toilets, and even to freshen up garbage cans. (enter a snarky comment here).

Peek In Our Week:

She is working on Color Box 2. Look at that focus (notice the tongue) The primary purpose of the Montessori color tablet box 2 is to develop visual discrimination of color using primary, secondary and tertiary colors. The secondary purpose of this activity is to help the child develop a sense of visual order.

He is working on the Knobbed Cylinders. The purpose of Montessori knobbed cylinders is to develop visual discrimination of size and dimension, fine motor skills and coordination for writing, problem-solving, and indirectly prepare for mathematical concepts like sequence and comparison. These self-correcting, sensorial materials require children to use a pincer grip to remove and place cylinders into matching holes, enhancing hand-eye coordination and building a foundation for later academic learning.

*He is working on a language work/Three Part Cards. Montessori Vowel Extension Cards (VEC) help children learn to read and spell by isolating and practicing the different sounds that vowels can make.*

He is working on the Movable Alphabet. The purpose of this material is to teach reading, spelling, and writing by allowing the child to construct words.
