e-book: Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities

Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities je nedavno objavljena e-knjiga. Za ideju i objavljivanje su zaslužni Deb Chitwood (autorica zanimljivog bloga Living Montessori Now) i John Bowman (autor izvrsne knjige i stranice pod nazivom Montessori At Home!). Na mom sidebaru možete vidjeti gumbić s oznakom Contributor jer se i moje aktivnosti o tome što pluta, a što tone, te o agregatnim stanjima vode nalaze u ovoj e-knjizi :)
Knjiga uglavnom sadrži aktivnosti koje su podijelili roditelji koji kod kuće školuju djecu, a ima i nekoliko aktivnosti od odgajatelja, koji su - kako bi John i Deb rekli - roditelji mnogima (Moms to many).

OVDJE pročitajte kako možete nabaviti knjigu - besplatno :)

Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities is recently published e-book. Deb Chitwood (the author of an interesting blog Living Montessori Now) and John Bowman (author of excellent book and web page Montessori at home!) are credited for the idea of creating this e-book and its publication. You can see a button labeled as Contributor on my sidebar because my activities about what floats and what sinks and about the aggregate states of water are contained in this e-book :)
The book mainly contains activities shared by homeschooling parents, but there are also several activities shared by teachers (Moms to many).

Hrvatska / Croatia

hosted by Leann@Montessori Tidbits

Davno smo proveli projekt o našoj državi, Republici Hrvatskoj. Žao mi je što nisam fotografirala više predmeta, pribora i aktivnosti kojima smo se bavili. Sad vam predstavljam dio onog što smo radili:

~

Long ago, we had a project about our country, the Republic of Croatia. Here is the small part of what we did in our classroom:

Hrvatska zastava / Croatian flag:

Brojke i žetoni: umjesto žetona sam korisila male zastave (ova vježba služi za upoznavanje parnih i neparnih brojeva)

Zastavice možete besplatno skinuti na mom Scribd profilu.

~

Numbers and counters: instead of chips I used small flags (this exercise serves to introduce the odd and even numbers to the children)

You can download flags for free on my Scribd profile.

Iz redovitog programa ostao nam je memory: Hrvatska, lijepa naša. Sadrži male kartice s fotografijama različitih znamenitosti iz Republike Hrvatske. Ovu društvenu igru pretvorila sam u kartice za uparivanje.
~
We have memory: Croatia, our beautiful country. It contains small cards with photos of various Croatian landmarks. I turned this game into matching cards with control of error.

Davno sam izradila kartice s fotografijama zaštićenih biljaka u Republici Hrvatskoj. Ovu vježbu posebno vole predškolci.
~
Long ago, I made 3 part cards with photos of endangered plants in the Republic of Croatia. Preschoolers love this exercise.

 

Za vrijeme provedbe projekta, ostvarili smo izvrsnu suradnju s roditeljima, koji su nam donosili različite predmete iz svih dijelova Hrvatske.

~

During our project about Croatia, we have achieved excellent cooperation with parents, who have brought a variety of items from different parts of Croatia.

Jedna mama nam je donijela tartufe i posudila ribež za tartufe koji su djeca (kao i odgajatelji ;)) vidjeli prvi put. Najviše tartufa se može pronaći u Istri.

~

One mom has brought us truffles and lent us a truffle grater. We saw it for the first time. Most truffles can be found in Istria.

Šestinski kišobran je karakterističan za okolicu Zagreba. U Zagrebu se mogu pronaći različiti suveniri s motivom šestinskog kišobrana. Ovaj kišobran bio nam je poticaj za različite likovne aktivnosti, razgovore s djecom i čitanje priča iz zbirke Šestinski kišobran (Nada Iveljić).

Na otvorenom dijelu zagrebačke tržnice Dolac svi suncobrani su izrađeni u bojama šestinskog kišobrana.

~

Umbrella from Šestine is characteristic for the Zagreb surroundings. In Zagreb, capital of Croatia, you can find various souvenirs with Šestine umbrella motifs. Our umbrella was a stimulus for a variety of art activities, discussions with children and reading stories by Nada Iveljić: Šestinski kišobran. In the open part of Zabreb market Dolac all parasols are made in colors of Šestine umbrella.

Anima Croatica je zbirka CD-a s hrvatskom glazbom (folklor, sakralna glazba i sl.)

~

Anima Croatica is a collection of CDs with Croatian music (folk music, sacred music...)

"Dođi i vidi Zagreb" je jedna od slikovnica pomoću koje djeca na zgodan način uče o Zagrebu.

~

"Come and see Zagreb" is one of the picture books by which children in a convenient way learn about Zagreb.

"Dragi naš Zagreb" je slikovnica za stariju djecu, ali su i naši vrtićanci uživali listajući.

~

"Our dear Zagreb" is a picture book for older children, but preschoolers enjoyed reviewing the contents.

Ako vas interesira još slikovnica o Zagrebu, također smo čitali "Žganček i ara" o papigi i vrapcu koji upoznaju Zagreb te "U Zagrebu jednog jutra" o djetetu koje se izgubilo u Zagrebu.

~

If you are interested in more picture books about Zagreb, we also read "Žganček i ara" about the parrot and sparrow who learn about the city of Zagreb, and "One morning in Zagreb" about the child who is lost in big city.

Također smo čitali različite enciklopedije:

~

We also read a variety of encyclopedias:

Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić je najpoznatija hrvatska spisateljica za djecu. U nastavcima smo čitali roman "Čudnovate zgode šegrta Hlapića"...

~

Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić was most famous Croatian writer for children. We read the novel "The Marvelous Adventures and Misadventures of Hlapić, the Apprentice"...

...i "Priče iz davnine" koje su inspirirane slavenskom mitologijom.
~
...and "Croatian Tales of Long Ago", inspired by Slavic mythology.

Proveli smo još mnogo zanimljivih aktivnosti koje nisam uspjela fotografirati, ali ovo će biti dovoljno za početak.

~

We did more interesting activities, but I didn't take pictures. I think this will be enough to start.

Pluta-tone / Sink-Float

Eksperiment Pluta/tone je djeci jedan od omiljenih!

Evo kako pribor za ovu interesantnu vježbicu izgleda u "mojoj" sobi:

~ Experiment Sink/Float is one of our favorites! 

Here's how this interesting material looks like in "my" classroom: 

Razvrstavanje u posudice: U tamnoplavoj posudici se nalaze različiti predmeti. Dijete ih stavlja u posudu s vodom, a kad vidi plutaju li ili tonu, stavlja ih u odgovarajuću svjetloplavu posudicu (ispred su natpisi PLUTA i TONE):

~ The classification in little pots: In a dark blue pot are different items. The child puts them in a pot with water, and when she see if they float or sink, she puts them in the appropriate light blue pot (in front are the labels FLOAT and SINK): 

Drvena perlica pluta / Wooden bead float

Šiljilo tone / Sharpener sink

Na posljetku su svi predmeti razvrstani, ovisno o tome plutaju li na vodi ili ne:

~ Finally, all objects are classified, depending on if they float on the water or not:

Umjesto razvrstavanja predmeta u posudice, djeca mogu razvrstavati predmete i u tablicu sa stupcima PLUTA i TONE. Papir s tablicom sam plastificirala kako bi se mogao upotrijebiti mnogo puta.

Tablice na nekoliko jezika sam izradila sama, možda se sjećate posta s linkovima za besplatan download, a besplatno ih možete skinuti među mojim Scribd dokumentima:

~ Instead of sorting items into little pots, children can sort items in a table with columns SINK and FLOAT. I laminated paper with table, so it could be used many times. 

I created tables in several languages, perhaps you remember the post with a link for free download, but you can download them for free among my Scribd documents: 

Pluta/tone (hrvatski / Croatian)

Sink/Float (engleski / English)

Flota/Se hunde (španjolski / Spanish)

Flotte/Coule (francuski / French)

 

Djeca su i sama počela raditi svoje bilješke. Djeca koja znaju pisati, pisala su nazive predmeta, a djeca koja ne znaju pisati, su crtala predmete koji plutaju, odnosno tonu:

~ Children have started doing their own notes. Children who know how to write, write the names of objects, and children who do not know how to write, drew objects that float or sink: 

Kad završe vježbu, djeca sav pribor obrišu suhom krpom koju zatim stave na sušenje.
~ When children finish the exercise, they wipe all the material with a cloth which is then placed on radiator or some sunny spot in the classroom.

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.
