Montessori - The 3 Part Card
One of the best resources Maria Montessori created was the 3 Part Card. These are essential to any Child Driven curriculum. Cut and Laminate these to use over and over again! Every year, your child can use these same cards to enhance his learning.
The Point of the 3 Part Card ~ The child learns INDEPENDENTLY!
~Once you have introduced the cards, or lesson, place the cards in your homeschool area and let your child use them as often as he wants.
Repetition is key to the learning process. The more times he completes the job, the more he will get out of it.
Lesson - When you present the cards to your child for the first time /or/ when you add something new.
Job - When the child pulls the work to use independently.
The Work - The cards labeled and organized in a particular way.
Firework Anatomy (It is nice to have a real firework.)
Lesson: Lay each card down one at a time...saying the word each time.
Job: Matching/ Drawing/Writing/Reading/Sentences/Research/Teach a younger sibling
(This usually progresses by year, starting in Preschool ending in 3rd Grade)
The Work: The cards, cut laminated, with any additional material attached.
