Today we had some fun learning about some of the things we see in the fall and during the Thanksgiving season. I have been doing some reading about some of the Montessori methods and I feel like they work so well with what we are trying to do with Adeline. I will be incorporating more of these things into our day.
One important aspect is teaching our children how to use everyday tools. Today we put together a sensory box of fall items and Adeline practiced using a tong, and ladle. The tong was a little more difficult but she really enjoyed using the ladle. This exercise requires a lot of turning the wrist and arm, all important skills. Her favorite were the pumpkins that I found on clearance at Wal mart.
