🐝 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

In Montessori, flash cards aren't for drilling—they're reference tools for real observation. Use these to identify the bees you actually see in your yard. "Look! That fuzzy yellow and black one is a bumblebee!" This turns abstract vocabulary into concrete knowledge grounded in the child's own experience.
