Golden Bead Material and Moveable Alphabet
So I have been having all kinds of fun experimenting with Bunny and the famous Montessori Golden Bead Material. She has learned all her numbers up to 20 and I started presenting her with the names of the different units a few weeks ago. She loved to know all about them and wanted more presentations right away. Unfortunately, I didn’t know where to go next! Thankfully the amazing teachers at my local Montessori school showed me what to do (see yesterday’s post all about my observation). So I started right away, and Bunny has just taken off! 🙂
We also worked with the moveable alphabet. I really had a ton more luck with using only a few letters and and a list of five words. She still not super excited about it, but she is doing the work without getting upset. I was so excited today when she told me in the car is saw an n and o and they said “n” and “o”! I think that she is starting to get into it and I know that it is sinking! Here is some of the work we have done in the past few days!

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for stopping by over my blog. Also, thanks for sharing your moments with the Golden Beads Material. I still don’t have this material. I’ll make sure to come back when I get it.
Hugs!!!
