Living Montessori Now has several examples of Montessori-inspired, literature based activities for preschoolers.

JDaniel4’s Mom shows us a reading comprehension activity called illustrating a story.

This week we shared lots of science activities. We practiced measuring outside with Inch by Inch for the Virtual Book Club for Kids. For the latest episode in the Science at Home video series, I showed everyone how to make a cloud in a jar. We explored the baking soda and vinegar reaction by using frozen vinegar. It makes for a cool summer science activity.
