I really enjoy the changing of the season and work. I'm the type of teacher that gets really bored with her classroom set up and materials, so if I get bored I know my children do also.
Here are a few items that I created for my classroom.
This is a piece of work that I made for my younger students so that they can start working on their visual discrimination. This is an extension that I placed in the Sensorial area.
I created a counting work zero through ten with St. Patrick's Day pictures. I wanted the numeral and the name on one card with the counting pictures in the other.
This following is for language, its a play on the Dice and Roll work we all know about. I wanted something more festive and for it to be more Montessori based Language. Most that I have seen are for sight words... which is great but I wanted different. So, I created pink, blue, and green series cards. For those who are saying "What the heck is pink, blue and green?" We like to divide language into sections pink: easiest level, consonant-vowel-consonant words (bob, sat, ran, red, etc), blue: blends that you can hear each sound and double consonants (frog, crab, bell, etc), Green: Special sounds and basically everything hard (make, church, shell, bird, rain, etc).
I love this shamrock 'plastic' inset. It's older and I couldn't even tell you where I purchased it but its the best.
Pin pricking shamrocks!
This beautifully drawn rainbow is amazing. I'm not sure where I got it from because I've had it a long time but all you have to do is google "rainbow color sheets". I'm sure you can find one just like it or better! I just love this one because it's simple and straight to the point.
Sensorial bin that I made for all my seeking children. I made all the colors at home, so easy to do!
Grating nutmeg, this is a great alternative to soap, because the nutmeg smells amazing!
