I got an X-ray at school today!

Our show and tell letter "X" became a lesson on bones.

On black paper trace the child's arm and hand with a white crayon.

Use Q-tips on Elmer's glue for the bones. 

The parents loved it!

Also, great writing for kids not yet in kindergarten!

Letter "O" Show and Tell Activities

On floor boards the group has a drawing lesson with me on the dry erase board in front. These group lessons really teach children how to follow directions, look at shapes and draw. 

Show and Tell "O" objects are on the rug.

 An advanced writing table work for kids not yet in kindergarten  but who have been with me for years and can write and read.

The writing table had a web page to copy. 

Kids love this type of work.

The younger kids do an "O" collage.

Native American Object Trays for Cultural Studies

The first tray is well used and full of interesting Native American dolls.

Being a Montessori teacher means searching garage and estate sales and the Salvation Army for that one cast off item that would be perfect in your cultural studies or geography shelves. 

Over the years they add up to a pretty nice collection and for pennies, too.

These trays teach vocabulary, culture, science and design.

Each object makes for interesting conversation at line time.
