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

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:42:00 +0000

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).

Životinje Antarktike / Antarctic animals

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:49:00 +0000

hosted by Leann @ Montessori Tidbits

Antarktika je najjužniji i najhladniji kontinent s najmanje života, ali ipak jako privlači djecu. S lakoćom su zapamtila sve o Antarktici. U ovom postu pokazat ću što smo radili na temu životinje Antarktike.

Antarctica is the southernmost and coldest continent with the least life, but still very attractive for children. They learned all about Antarctica with ease. In this post I'll show what we've done on the Antarctic animals.

Plakat o Antarktici: / Poster about Antarctica:

U sklopu vježbe razvrstavanja životinja po kontinentima, ponuđene su kartice s pticama za svaki kontinent i plastične životinje:

In the sorting animals by continent exercise, I offered cards with birds of every continent and plastic animals:

Kartice s antarktičkim životinjama:

3 part cards: Antarctic animals:

Davno sam izradila malu enciklopediju o polarnim životinjama. Post o tome možete pročitati OVDJE.

Long ago, I made encyclopedia about polar animals. You can read post about it HERE.

Slaganje pingvina po veličini (besplatan download možete pronaći na blogu Al Madrassa By Oummi).

Size sorting: imperial penguins (you can find free download at Al Madrassa By Oummi).

Matematička igra čitanja temperature na termometru. Više o ovoj aktivnosti možete pročitati OVDJE.

Math game: reading the temperature on the thermometer. You can read more about this activity HERE.

Jedna djevojčica nam je posudila slikovnicu Say Hello to the Snowy Animals!

One girl borrowed us a picture book Say Hello to the Snowy Animals!

Djeca su također sa zanimanjem proučila slikovnicu Polarne životinje koja ih je oduševila s različitim prozorčićima iza kojih su se skrivala iznenađenja - zanimljivosti o polarnim životinjama.

Children also found interesting picture book about polar animals. They were delighted with little windows behind which are hidden surprises - interesting facts about polar animals.

Ovdje možete pročitati zanimljive činjenice o životinjama Antarktike.

Interesting facts about Antarctic animals can be found here.

Hrvatska / Croatia

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 12:39:00 +0000

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.

Amy (Child Central Station) mi je dala ovu nagradu koju sam već spomenula kad sam ju dobila od Deb.
~

~
Amy, thank you for this award. Recommendation for my readers: visit the blog Child Central Station and you will find many interesting ideas that can be applied in practical work with children.

Povremeno imam problema s glasnicama (profesionalna bolest), željela bih naučiti talijanski jezik, volim more, obožavam slušati glazbu dok sam u autu, unazad godinu dana ustanovila sam da volim s djecom ići na višednevne izlete (do prošle jeseni sam bila samo na jednodnevnim izletima), obožavam čokoladu i Coca Colu (ne volim čokolade s voćnim okusima), ponekad me opterećuje činjenica da sam perfekcionist.
~
Occasionally I have problems with the vocal cords (professional disease), I would like to learn Italian language, I love the sea, I love listening to music while I'm driving a car, I love to go to multi-day trips/ vacations with kindergarten children (up to last fall, I was only on 1 day trips), I love chocolate and Coca Cola (I do not like chocolate with fruity aromas), the fact that I am a perfectionist sometimes is the burden for me.

Dan jabuka: 20. listopad / Apple Day: October 20th

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:14:00 +0000

Idući tjedan s djecom ćemo obilježiti Dan jabuka. Gotovo sva djeca iz grupe vole jesti jabuke, a posebno vole pojesti jabuku nakon vježbe iz praktičnog života kao što je rezanje voća.

Next week we will celebrate Apple Day. Almost all children in the classroom like to eat apples, but they especially love to eat an apple after the exercise of practical life, such as cutting fruit.

Stare aktivnosti na temu Jabuka možete pronaći OVDJE i OVDJE.

Old activities on Apple theme you can find HERE and HERE.

Jesen / Fall

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:04:00 +0000

Budući da je prvi dan jeseni, vjerojatno s djecom razgovarate o promjeni godišnjeg doba, o tome kako vidimo da prolazi ljeto a dolazi jesen, itd.

Since it is the first day of autumn (fall), you are probably talking with kids about changing seasons, how we see the fall is coming, etc.

Ovdje možete pogledati jesenske aktivnosti koje sam radila s djecom proteklih godina:

Ljeto 2011. / Summer 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:39:00 +0000

I ovo ljeto je izgleda službeno završilo...Navodno da je prošli vikend bio zadnji vrući vikend ove godine.

Ovo ljeto sam puno vremena provela na moru. Doduše, sve je započelo boravkom u Splitu na Konferenciji, još u travnju.

Nakon toga sam otišla na ljetovanje s vrtićkom djecom o kojem ste čitali ovdje i ovdje.

This summer officially ended... Apparently, last weekend was last hot weekend of this year.

This summer I spent a lot of time at sea. However, it all started in Split at the Conference in April.

Then I went on holidays with kindergarten children, you can read here and here about it.

Nakon vrtićkih obaveza na moru, otišla sam u Mali Lošinj. Evo nekoliko sličica s Lošinja, stare postove o tome pročitajte ovdje i ovdje.

I also went in Mali Lošinj. Here are some photos that I shot on Lošinj. The old posts about my vacations on Lošinj island, read here and here.

U Crikvenicu sam otišla i privatno, bez vrtićke djece, a svratila sam i do Opatije. U Zagrebu sam se opuštala uz koktele...

~I went privately in Crikvenica too, without the kindergarten children, and I went up to Opatija. In Zagreb, I relaxed with cocktails...

Ljetnu sezonu sam ovaj vikend završila u Puli i Medulinu:

~I ended up summer season this weekend in Medulin and Pula:

(najviše me iznenadila i oduševila skulptura Jamesa Joycea na terasi jednog pulskog kafića u koji je volio svratiti)

(I was most surprised and delighted with the sculpture of James Joyce in Pula on the terrace of a cafe in which he liked to stop by)

Vretena / Spindle box

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:08:00 +0000

Vretena spadaju u prvu skupinu pribora za matematiku (upoznavanje količine i simbola od 0 do 10). Radeći s ovim priborom dijete uči da se količina sastoji od pojedinačnih dijelova te upoznaje nulu. Učeći o nuli, tj. pojmu o "ništa" dijete pojačava utisak o količini. Dijete senzornim putem spoznaje količinu koju drži u ruci puno jednostavnije nego da to uči napamet. Ova vježba se u pravilu pokazuje od 4. godine na dalje.

Ako radite sa slabovidnim djetetom, možete mu zalijepiti brojeve od brusnog papira ili crvene točke koje će zamijeniti brojeve.

Spindles are in the first group of mathematics materials (introduction of quantity and symbols, from 0 to 10). Working closely with this material your child learn that quantity consists of individual parts and introduces zero. By learning about zero, the notion of "nothing" child reinforces the impression of quantity. A child is learning by sensory cognition the amount held in the hand a lot easier than to learn by heart. This exercise is usually shown from 4 y. o. onwards.

If you are working with visually impaired child, you can paste sandpaper numerals or red dots, which will replace the numbers.

Pribor se sastoji od kutije s pregradama iznad kojih su brojevi od 0 do 9, od 45 vretena i od 8 vezica ili gumica za kosu.

Material consist of a box with compartments (above are the numbers 0 to 9), a 45 spindles and 8 laces or headbands.

Dijete uz opipavanje prstom čita brojke iznad pretinaca, počevši od 1 (nulu za početak preskačemo).
~
Child traces the numbers with finger and read it aloud (numbers above the boxes), starting from 1 (we skip zero).

Zatim odgajatelj pokazuje djetetu na koji način će uzimati vretena iz kutije i stavljati ih u pretince. Vadimo jedno vreteno dominantnom rukom, stavljamo ga u dlan druge ruke, stisnemo šaku i kažemo "Jedan". Dijete, ako želi, ponovi i stavi vreteno u kutiju s pregradama, ispod brojke jedan. Tako radimo i s ostalim vretenima.
~
Then teacher shows the child how to take the spindles out of the box and put them in compartments. We take a spindle with dominant hand, put it in the palm of the other hand, clench our fist and say "One." The child repeats it, if she wants, and put a spindle in a box with compartments, under the numeral 1. We work with other spindles in the same way..

Kada trebamo više vretena, dominantnom rukom uzimamo jedno vreteno, stavimo ga u dlan druge ruke, stisnemo šaku te kažemo "Jedan", zatim uzmemo drugo vreteno (ponovimo postupak) i kažemo "Dva". Tako nastavimo do željenog broja. Vretena položimo u pretinac ispod odgovarajućeg broja.
~
When we need more spindles, we take a spindle with our dominant hand, put it in the palm of the other hand, clench our fist and say "One", then take the second spindle (repeat) and say "Two." So we continue to the desired number. Spindles lay in the compartment below the appropriate number.

Kada popunimo sve pregrade pitamo dijete da li je neki pretinac prazan. Dijete pokazuje pretinac ispod broja nule. Kažemo mu da je taj pretinac prazan i da u njemu nema ništa. To zovemo nula (pojam nule je djeci apstraktan).

When we fill out all the compartments we ask a child whether she see an empty compartment. The child shows a compartment below the number zero. We tell her that this compartment is empty, that there is nothing. This is called a zero (the concept of zero is very abstract for children).

Zatim se uzimaju vezice ili gumice i vežu se vretena - počevši od broja 2 (1 vreteno ne vežemo, vežemo samo više vretena. To je indirektan uvod u skupove.). Vretena iz pretinca uzimamo jedno po jedno i naglas brojimo. Kad smo ih sve izvadili, položimo ih na vezicu i vežemo vezicu oko vretena u mašnu.
Budući da imamo puno male djece, pripremila sam gumice za kosu umjesto vezica.
~
Then take the laces or headbands and connect the spindles - starting from number 2 (1 spindle does not tie, you tie more spindles together. This is an indirect introduction to the sets.). We take spindles from the compartment one by one and count aloud. When we have them all out, place them on the laces, and we tie the shoelace into a bow around the spindle.
Because we have a lot of very young children, I prepared headbands instead of laces.

Prije odvezivanja vretena, možemo usporediti i težinu vretena. U jednoj ruci imamo mali broj vretena, a u drugoj puno vretena. Važemo kako bi dijete osjetilo povećanje broja vretena u težini i obujmu - teško je sklopiti prste oko puno vretena.
~
Before untying the spindles, we compare the weight of spindles. In one hand we have a small number of spindles, in the second lot of spindles. We are weighing spindles so that the child can experience an increase in the number of spindles in weight and volume - it is difficult to wrap your fingers around a large number of spindles.

Na kraju, vretena odvežemo i vraćamo u kutiju iz koje smo ih uzeli te gumice spremam u njihovu posudu.

Finally, we untie the spindles and put them back into the box from which we took them out and the laces in their container.

Kontrola pogreške je ako u kutiji ostane više vretena ili ako nedostaje vretena. Potrebno je ponovo prebrojati.

Control of error is if the box remains more spindles or missing spindles. It is necessary to re-count.

Prijedlog dodatnih vježbi / Extensions:

lekcija o nuli (nulu ne prezentiramo u osnovnoj prezentaciji). Ja ju obično pokazujem nakon što je dijete više puta radilo s ovim priborom. Djetetu kažem (npr.) Molim te, daj mi broj četiri. Kada mi je dijete dalo četiri vretena, pitam ga što je ostalo u pretincu. Dijete kaže da nije ostalo ništa. Kažem mu da je to nula. Četiri minus četiri je nula. Isto možemo ponoviti s još nekim brojevima. Također, nulu možemo pokazati i iz brojki od brusnog papira. Podsjetimo se na koji način se opipava. Dijete će se tako prisjetiti da se s nulom susrelo već ranije. / lessons about zero (zero does not present to the children in the first presentation). I usually show it after a child is repeatedly involved with this material. Tell the child (for example) Please give me the number four. When she gave me four spindles, I asked her what was left in a compartment. The child says that nothing was left. I tell her that it is zero. Four minus four is zero. The same can be repeated with some other numbers. Also, we can show the zero from the sandpaper numerals. Recall how we trace the number of zero. The child will also recall that she encountered the zero previously.
razne igre u vezi s brojem nula. Djeca rade po nalogu: npr. pljesni dva puta, pljesni četiri puta, pljesni šest puta, pljesnu nula puta. Umjesto pljeskanja možemo stupati, pokazivati brojeve prstima i sl. / various games in conjunction with the number zero. Children work by order: for example, clap your hands twice, clap your hands four times, clap your hands six times, clap zero times. Instead of clapping, we can march, show the numbers with our fingers, etc.

Da biste preuzeli nagradu morate odgovoriti na ova pitanja:

1. Koju pjesmu volite i zašto? / A song that excites you and why?

Nemam pjesmu koju najviše volim. Volim mnoge pjesme, ali prve koje mi padaju napamet su If you don't know me by now (Simply Red), Change the world (Eric Clapton), Feel (Robbie Williams), The Miracle of Love (Euritmics), Hey Soul Sister (Train), Last Friday Night (Katy Perry), U2... Bolje da sad stanem, mogla bih nabrojati još petnaestak pjesama koje svakodnevno pjevušim u sebi.

I don't have my favorite song. I like many songs, but first I can think of are If you don't know me by now (Simply Red), Change the world (Eric Clapton), Feel (Robbie Williams), The Miracle of Love (Euritmics), Hey Soul Sister (Train), Last Friday Night (Katy Perry), U2... I better stop now, I could count another fifteen songs that I sing every day.

Naš vrt / Our garden

noreply@blogger.com (Leptir (Nataša)) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 12:09:00 +0000

Kada sam pisala o aktivnostima vezanim uz temu Cvijeće, obećala sam da ću jednom prilikom pokazati kako je izgledao vrt u koji su djeca posadila povrće i cvijeće.

Djeca su sama birala što će na kojem mjestu posaditi, a sve sadnice i sjeme su nam donijeli roditelji.

When I was writing about flower activities, I promised that I would show what looked like our garden in which the children planted vegetables and flowers.

Children are independently chosen the place where to plant, and all seedlings and seeds were brought to us by parents.

Početna faza / Initial phase:

Maćuhice i suncokreti / Pansies and sunflowers:

Krumpiri i luk / Potatoes and onions:

Suncokreti / Sunflowers:

Zelena salata / Lettuce:

Maćuhice / Pansies:

Cikla / Beet:

Luk u cvatu / Onion in bloom:

Mrkva / Carrot:

Mahune / Beans:

Tijekom ljetnih praznika sunce je, na žalost, uništilo naš vrt. Najesen ćemo vjerojatno posaditi nove biljke.

During the summer holidays, the sun is, unfortunately, destroyed our garden. In the autumn we will probably have to plant new plants.
