☁️ Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Cloud flash cards become meaningful when children use them outside. Take cards to the playground or window and ask children to find cumulus clouds in the actual sky. Real observation makes the connection between card and reality, transforming abstract names into concrete knowledge children can use every day.
