Mjeseci u godini / Months of the year

Nedavno sam napravila natpise za mjesece u godini. Možete ih besplatno skinuti ovdje:
Recently, I made labels for the months of the year. You can download it here: 

Na hrvatskom jeziku / In Croatian:
mjeseci u godini

Na engleskom, njemačkom, talijanskom, francuskom i španjolskom:
In English, German, Italian, French and Spanish:
Months of the Year - English, Deutsch, Italiano, Francais, Espanol
Nazivi mjeseci su obojeni ovisno o godišnjem dobu. Ožujak je zelene boje jer u ožujku počinje proljeće. Lipanj je žute boje jer u lipnju počinje ljeto. Rujan je crvene boje jer u rujnu počinje jesen. Prosinac je plave boje jer u prosincu počinje zima. Mjeseci koji slijede iza mjeseca u kojem počinje neko godišnje doba su iste boje, ali nijansa je sve tamnija.

The names of months are colored depending on the season. March is green because the spring begins in March. June is yellow because the summer begins in June. September is red because the fall begins in September. December is blue because the winter begins in December. Month following the month in which begins a season are the same color, but the hue is darker.

Novi blog s besplatnim karticama / New blog with freebies

Amina je iz Švedske. Već neko vrijeme piše blog o besplatnim materijalima za rad u Montessori grupi. Tamo ćete naći pregršt raznih besplatnih materijala koje je pronašla na internetskim stranicama, kao i mnogo kartica koje je sama izradila. Njezine materijale možete besplatno naručiti preko e-mail adrese koju ćete pronaći na blogu. 
Skoknite do njenog bloga i sigurno ćete naći mnogo zanimljivih ideja: montessorimaterial


PS Amina mi nije platila za ovaj post.  :-)
Sama sam ga odlučila napisati zbog dobrog iskustva s njezinim materijalima koje ću u toku pedagoške godine sigurno koristiti.
~

Amina is from Sweden. She writes a blog about free Montessori materials for some time now. There you'll find plenty of free materials found on the internet, as well as plenty of cards that she created by herself. Her materials can be ordered for free through the e-mail address that you'll find on her blog.

Pop over to her blog and you'll find lots of interesting ideas: montessorimaterial

Disclaimer: Amina didn't pay me for this post.  :-)

I decided to write it because of my good experience with her materials, and I'll certainly use it during the school year.

Senzomotorika / Sensorial

Ovo je kreacija koju su dva dječaka sama osmislila kombinirajući kocke iz ružičastog tornja i kvadre iz smeđih stepenica. Rekli su da ih podsjeća na raketu.*

~

This is a creation that two boys were independently developed by combining the cubes of pink tower and the cuboids of the brown stairs. They said it reminds them on a rocket. *

Post o ružičastom tornju i smeđim stepenicama možete pročitati OVDJE.

HERE is my post about the pink tower and brown stairs. 

Jedan dječak je ovako složio valjke u boji:*

Kontrola pogreške / Control of error:

* moram napomenuti da djeca nauče osnovni način rada s priborom prije nego što počnu isprobavati razne kombinacije slaganja.

I should note that children learn the basic mode of working with material before they start trying out various combinations and extensions.

Zamatanje poklona / Wrapping gifts

Ovo je vježba koju sva djeca vole. Može biti prezentirana bilo kada jer se pokloni zamataju za rođendane, za različite blagdane ili kao znak pažnje za neko dobro djelo. Tijekom cijele godine dijete ima priliku sudjelovati u zamatanju poklona i gledati kako to odrasli rade. I dijete može naučiti zamotati i ukrasiti poklon za prijatelja, roditelje,...

Vježbu zamatanja poklona vidjela sam na raznim blogovima, a ja sam ju pripremila ovako:

~

This is an exercise which all children love. It can be presented at any time since the gifts are wrapped for birthdays, for different holidays or as a token of appreciation for a good deed. During the year the child has the opportunity to participate in wrapping gifts and watch how adults do it. Child can learn to decorate and wrap gifts for friends, parents,...

I saw the exercise of wrapping gifts on various blogs, and I prepared it this way: 

Ovi drveni kvadri predstavljaju poklone:

~

These wooden blocks are here instead of gifts:

U jednoj košarici se nalaze vrpce za ukrašavanje poklona, a u drugoj košarici su ukrasi koji se stavljaju na zamotani poklon:

~

In first basket are ribbons for decorating gifts, and in the second basket are decorations for wrapped gift:

Djeci sam pokazala najjednostavniji način zamatanja poklona:

~

I demonstrated the simplest way of gift wrapping: 

Ukrasni papir lijepimo sa selotejpom:
~
Paper for wrapping gifts attaching with adhesive tape: 

Kad je "poklon" zamotan, biramo hoćemo li ga ukrasiti vrpcom ili na neki drugi način:

~

When the "gift" is wrapped, we choose whether to decorate it with ribbon or otherwise:

Božićne aktivnosti iz vrtića / Christmas activities from kindergarten

Ostatak aktivnosti koje su djeca radila u adventskom razdoblju stižu s malim zakašnjenjem. Jednostavno ih nisam stigla prije objaviti...

~

The rest of the activities which the children worked in the Advent period, arriving with slight delay. Simply did not have time to write this post earlier... 

**********

Otvaranje i zatvaranje kutijica s božićnim predmetima (zbog efekta iznenađenja). Postupak rada sam opisala u ovom postu.

~

Open-close activity with Christmas objects (due to the effect of surprise). I have described procedure of work in this post. 

Nizanje tjestenine u obliku malih borova i zvjezda repatica:
~
Beading activity - instead of beads I used pasta in the form of christmas trees and comets: 

Prenošenje s pincetom -  mašnice za poklone u božićnim bojama - crvenoj i zelenoj:
~
Transferring with tweezers - bows for gifts in Christmas colors - red and green:

Predvježba za šivanje: božićne čestitke
~
Introduction to sewing: Christmas cards 

Veliki hit među božićnim aktivnostima je vježba dekoriranje božićnog drvca. Djeca su doslovce čekala u redu da bi mogla raditi ovu vježbicu o kojoj sam već pisala u ovom postu.
~
A big hit among Christmas activities is an exercise of decorating the Christmas tree. Children were literally waiting in line to be able to do this exercise which I already described in this post. 

Presipavanje crvenih kamenčića
~
Dry pouring: red stones

Vježba zamatanja poklona: ovu aktivnost sam već vidjela na drugim blogovima i odlučila sam ju prilagoditi djeci iz svoje grupe. Postupak rada ću opisati u idućem postu.

~

Wrapping gifts: this activity I have seen on other blogs and I decided to adapt it to children within my group/ classroom. I will describe procedure of work in the next post.

Sijali smo božićnu pšenicu / We sowed Christhmas wheat:

Djeca su svoju čašicu sa pšenicom ponijela kući uz čestitku za roditelje.

~

Children brought their cup with wheat home with greeting cards for parents. 

Čestitke za roditelje su izgledale ovako (više u ovom postu):

~

Greeting cards for parents looked like this (more in this post):

Ovako smo okitili ovogodišnje božićno drvce (više u ovom postu):

~

Thus, we decorated the Christmas tree this year (more in this post):

Ispod su bile jaslice (Haba) koje su djeca, kao i prošle godine, svakodnevno iznova preslagivala, mijenjala...

~

Below was the nativity scene (Haba) that children, like last year, daily rearranged, changed ...

Ovako je izgledao adventski kalendar (više u ovom postu):

Igra pamćenja: zvončići
Ovo je matematička igra pamćenja u kojoj djeca uzimaju po jednu kovertu u kojoj je kartica s brojem. Pogledaju koji su broj izvukla, odlaze do posudice sa zvončićima i uzimaju odgovarajući broj zvončića. Kad se vrate na mjesto slažu zvončiće ispod brojke na isti način kao u vježbi sa brojkama i žetonima.
~
Memory Game: bells
This is a mathematical memory game where children take on an envelope in which is the card with number. Children look what number they pulled out, acces the tray with the bells and take the appropriate number of bells. When they return to their place, they put bells below the numerals the same way as in the exercise with numerals and counters.

Čitanje uz male predmete: pripremila sam predmete koji su vezani uz Božić (zvono, zvijezda, poklon, mašna, anđeo). Prva dva predmeta namjerno počinju na isti glas/slovo. Dijete imenuje predmete, a odgojitelj na papirnu traku piše riječ, polagano, izgovarajući svako slovo koje napiše. Dijete zatim samo čita što je napisano. Papirne trake s natpisima stavljamo uz predmete. Ovu vježbu možemo učiniti težom (i zanimljivijom) za djecu koja ju izvode bez problema: možemo pomiješati predmete ili natpise na papirnim trakama. Ako dijete zna pisati, može samostalno pisati natpise i raditi s ostalom djecom ili samo.

Reading with small objects: I prepared objects that are related with Christmas (bell, star, gift, ribbon, angel). The first two objects deliberately starting with the same sound / letter (in Croatian). Child appointed objects, a teacher writes the word on the paper strip, slowly, pronouncing each letter she write. The child also read what is written. We put paper strips with objects' names by objects. We can make it difficult for children who have no problems performing this exercise: mix up objects or labels and make this exercise more interesting. If a child knows how to write, she can write labels and work with other children or alone.
