Continents Map

I've written about working with and introducing a Montessori World Map. Two extensions to do with the Montessori World Map are Creating Your Own Map by Tracing & Push Pinning. This post includes tutorials on those extensions.

What is Air?

Make Learning Fun

We did a few very simple 'experiments' and 'observations' to introduce and demonstrate the concept of air. Teaching preschoolers that the earth is made of land, water, and air as a starting point is key. Explaining that air exists is almost an abstract idea since we can't actually see air. We know that it exists and takes up space. So how do we show that to preschoolers? This post will help you.

Clouds Activity for Kids

To continue my son's introduction to the Earth, we talked about Clouds. We have talked about Land,Water & Air, even performed a few experiments demonstrating that Air exists even though we can't see it. We have started the conversation on Land Forms with an easy & effective Land Form Introduction.

Land, Air, Water

'We live on the earth. It is made up of three things: land, water, and air.' This post includes a lesson that is a great introduction for preschoolers.

Land Forms Craft

I have learned amazing things about introducing preschoolers to geography. Here are two easy activities I'd like to share with you courtesy of our amazing instructor, Tammy, from MEIPN. These are hands-on, visual tools to get your child to start thinking critically about LANDFORMS. Both activities are paper tearing activities, which are great for a child's fine motor development and provides a worthwhile sensory experience.

Extensions for Montessori Geography Work

Geoexpert 3 0 – Have Fun Learning Geography Textbook

When I first learned Montessori Geography, I often got stuck. Okay, pull the puzzle pieces out, put them back in, place them on the control map, put them back in the template…then what? Then I discovered the amazingness of extensions with the maps. The greatest part about extensions is that the map work can grow with the child. So, work for a three-year-old may be sufficient at the puzzle piece placements, whereas a five year may need more. This post includes a few examples for you.

I hope you enjoyed this post!
