Montessori Grammar Lesson

At home, we’re using the Montessori approach in teaching the English grammar.

Below are some of the materials we used:  grammar symbols, grammar booklet, strips of papers and Sharpies.  The symbols are made from foam crafts which I painstakingly form and cut.

Instead of grammar farm, we used Legos and animal figures set-up in an Arctic/Antarctic Expedition.  From here, I made Mavi identify the nouns.

I made this definition cards for his guide.

 

We created the sentences based on our set-up and Mavi labeled each word using a grammar symbol.   

And I made him work the other way around, Mavi creating a sentence using the symbol sequence I made.

Surprisingly, he enjoyed this activity.  He enjoys identifying the correct grammar symbol and loves creating sentences.  We will be doing much of this work and as he progresses, I’ll introduce adverbs, conjunction, pronoun, interjection and preposition.

Homemade Grammar Symbols

I finally made our grammar symbols!  So proud of how it turned out. I was on the edge of purchasing the wooden version but they were quite pricey.  Though the paper version was a good alternative but I wanted something durable so I decided to make my own using the foam crafts. 

Can't wait to use them!

Working on Green Series

This month we are doing Montessori Green Series. The pictures and labels you see on the picture was taken from The Helpful Garden.  We are using our moveable alphabets, and I also created some materials similar to our Blue Series (List).

 

My son loves working with moveable alphabets! It was worth-it!  I am also happy that he can work with this by himself, with just a little assistance from me.

See how identifies the consonant blends (Blue Series) by using the black alphabets. 

After each Green Series set, my son and I would make a sentence using the words.  It is a great practice of vocabulary and sentence construction.  As we progress I will let Mavi write these sentences on a paper and maybe use them in our grammar lesson next month.
