This laser cut Montessori Map of China is availabe
from Montessori Materials of Boston:
Chinese and Montessori! I have been looking
for things that tie in with the Montessori cirriculum
which are about China or teach Chinese languageor culture ala Montessori.
Ok here goes:

This site has many downloadable materials
teaching to write chinese. Her traditional
Montessori areas are interesting as well...
Have fun exploring here. (Please scroll down the
page once you go to the site.)
Another place to look for
Chinese Montessori materials is: http://www.mymontessorihouse.com/Wooden_Bilingual_Chinese_English_Blocks_and_Tiles.html
She has block and tiles, an album, and downloadable Chinese/English pdf files for 3 part cards.
culture cards available. I am linked to her
blog on the side bar, but here is a direct
link to the cards: http://blog.unitedteaching.com/2010/02/montessori-three-part-cards-china.html
What a great list! I saw those blocks on Etsy (I think) and wanted to get them since our son is learning Chinese (through Muzzy). Sadly, the blocks are just a tad too pricey for us. :(
ReplyDeleteCheck out www.monthome.com link above...
ReplyDeleteshe has alot of do it yourself ideas.
If you wrote to her, she might send you
the stroke sheets to make your own cards
or tiles. I think she is that rare
homeschooling Montessori chinese mom
combination! My husband is chinese,
so that explains our interest in all
things chinese. My daughter is sitting
on my lap in the Suzuki post...
My grandson appears with me in the
title bar! Love those mixed race kids!!

how are you guys teaching Chinese? I'm starting to right now but I'm not sure how to do it. What the progression is, even though I've made some materials.
ReplyDeleteTeaching the strokes and then the pictographs
ReplyDeleteand connecting these to individual words is
the most logical way. Notice the sandpaper strokes
above. Moveable alphabets using characters or
matching cards to objects and words for
word building would be next. Try some of these
resources above.

Thank you!!! I am not Chinese, either, BUT I am a Chinese teacher and married to a Chinese man, homeschooling Montessori-style with Chinese AND I'll be starting a private school which will feature Chinese Montessori-type learning in the preschool years. I have been searching for this! You are a gem. Thank you so much!!! ^_^ - Jasmine in NYC
