I am a sucker for Valentine’s Day. Don’t hate me. This post includes a free Montessori language download.
Love me. Like give me a big hug and {{squeeze}}, not too hard, though. I am fragile.
In our home, Valentine’s is an occasion not to celebrate romance (I will take the romance, don’t get me wrong). Valentine’s Day is a day, heck, a month, to honor our loved one, to focus on compassion, and to be kind to those people in our lives. For example, take the 100 Acts of Kindness Project hosted by my good friends at Toddler Approved and Coffee Cups & Crayons. Definitely check out their 100 Acts of Kindness Private Facebook group, too.
In that same spirit, we have fun and we acknowledge all the love and goodness in life with the hope that these feelings will stick around for a while. I can’t wait to read our Love Notes from our “I Love You Because” jar we began a few weeks ago. I also created a sweet set of Valentine themed three part cards available FREE for you to DOWNLOAD.
Valentine Nomenclature Cards
What are Nomenclature cards?
3 Part Cards are an essential part in Montessori Language learning. The goal is to arm a child with vocabulary to use as they walk through the world soaking in the environment. The cards work in a few ways: to identify and name objects with images and label and to isolate various parts of an object or animal. For example, in my FREE Types of STEMS cards versus my FREE Parts of a Turkey cards. Each part is isolated with a color, usually red, and the child learns to identify the part and the name. For more detail on using and preparing cards, Montessori Printshop is a great resource. For ore detail on how to use nomenclature cards, check out my post on Montessori’s Simple Nomenclature Cards Lesson.
How about them apples?
Are you feeling warm and fuzzy?
I have even better news. I created a Valentine’s Activities pack that includes 6 sets of activities covering math & language. Check it out in my shop or in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Enjoy!
