Writing Prompts

Dundee Montessori has a huge writing curriculum with many enticing exercises for children to love!

Here children sound out the label, match it to the object and then make a list of words. These children have not been to kindergarten yet and already do this beautifully. 

Tiny objects are in bottles so they don't get lost and are sorted by initial sound and then drawn.

I Spy With My Little Eye game is done with a tube held to the eye and initial sounds are matched to objects.

Color object matching and a Japanese language page is added. 

"S" Table

Object box extension

I call this 'web paper" and we use it in many ways.

Usually, I make a master that fits the subject at hand and the kids copy it along with the 

Montessori lesson involved.

Works so very well. Please try it.

Cards Become Writing Prompts

Holiday Insets

The Montessori Insets are one of the most creative works in a Montessori classroom. Not only do the templates strengthen pencil control but they can be the beginning of artistic invention.

Here are examples of masters I have made for my students to copy. The kids love these and will do more than one at a sitting to put in book form. I use all types and colors of paper with the insets. This is also a hit laid out on a table for a party for parents. Please copy these and make masters for your own children. 

Writing in Outer Space

My Space Unit is really huge with the usual Montessori matching cards, etc.

Here I am mainly showing writing/drawing lessons that correspond to the unit.

These writing pages will make a moon landing booklet when done. The simple masters I drew from the corresponding book I made with photos from National Geographic about the actual first moon landing.

The children then copy my simple master and end up with a pretty cool book. This kid's rocket is better than mine!

This next booklet is about the sun.

Last is a page about the moon having no air, water, or life.
