Reading with a friend is the best…
because when I don’t understand the story,
they pretend they do. 😂

Two heads, one book, and a lot of giggles.
That’s our kind of story time. 🤭✨

Today I learned the continents… with my voice AND my hands!” ✨
When we sang the continents song, my mouth was smiling…
When I matched the color bottles to the puzzle, my hands were busy…
And when I named each continent out loud, my brain said, “I got this!” 🌍💛

Little by little, the world feels smaller—
because I’m learning it one color, one song,
and one continent at a time. 🌈🗺️

It's our favorite! Library day!!! Yay!

Writing with chalk… and wow, the chalkboard is LOUD. It goes krrrkkk krrrkkk, and I pretend I’m a tiny construction worker making road noises. 🚧😂

My lines are not straight — they look like worms doing Zumba — but teacher said it’s STILL good practice!

And the best part?
Erasing everything like a boss so I can pretend nothing ever happened. 😎🧼

🌍✨ Exploring Continents Through the Montessori Globe

After learning about land (green) and water (blue) on the globe, children take the next step—discovering the continents that make up our world. Using hands-on materials helps toddlers and preschoolers build a concrete understanding of where places are, how the Earth is connected, and why our world looks the way it does.

Through simple naming, touching, and matching activities, children begin to recognize that each continent is unique—opening the door to future lessons in geography, culture, animals, people, and global awareness.

This early exposure nurtures curiosity, strengthens spatial thinking, and builds a foundation for respectful, informed global citizens. 🌎💛

Today we learned the continents… but honestly, they just look like giant puzzle pieces someone spilled on the floor! 😂
Asia is the big one, Africa looks like a chicken leg, and Australia is the tiny potato that got away! 🥔🤣
Learning the world is FUN when your imagination is louder than your teacher’s voice! 😆💛 🌎

The circle time calendar helps me know what day it is and what’s happening today. I like being the helper!

Hi friends! Today I learned about land, water, and buoyancy… that’s a big word for finding out if my toy will float or sink! 🧸🌊
I made my guess, dropped it in, and—SPLASH!—science happened!
Try it too with your toys and tell me what floats at your home! 🤩✨
Let’s explore the world together! 🌍💛

I looked at our globe and saw that blue is water and green is land! Then I made my own land and water forms with stones and water — I shaped islands and others! 🏝️ It felt so fun to make what I see on the globe with my own hands. Now I know how our world looks and feels! 💧💚

🌍 Exploring Land and Water Forms 🌊
Today we reviewed our Montessori globe — discovering how blue stands for water and green for land! Then, we brought learning to life by creating our own land and water model using pebbles and real materials. Hands-on play helps children connect what they see on the globe to what they feel in their world — building a deeper understanding of our planet’s landforms and bodies of water through exploration, touch, and imagination. 💧🏝️

🟦 “I’m learning with my hands!” 🟦

Today, I explored 3D shapes — sphere, cone, cube, and more! I matched each solid with its picture card and learned how they look and feel different when I touch and roll them.

My teacher doesn’t just tell me; she lets me discover it myself. That’s how I learn best — through my hands, eyes, and heart. 💙✨
