Montessori Three-Part Cards are designed for children to
learn and process the information on the cards. The

Step one: Lay down all the picture cards,
introducing one term at a time.
Step two: Ask the child to point to the picture card you
ask for.
Step three: Gather the picture cards in your hand. Place
one card at a time down and ask, "What is this?"
If a child is still engaged:
Step four: Lay down all the labeled picture cards (control cards).
Read each word to the child.
Step five: Ask the child to match each picture card to the
labeled picture cards (control cards).
Step six: Ask the child to take the top label card and compare it
to the first labeled picture card, until they find the matching
label card for each control card.
Once a child can read:
Step one: Ask the child to lay down the picture cards and
name each term.
Step two: Ask the child to read each label card and match it to
the picture card.
Step three: Ask the child to use the labeled picture cards (control
cards) to self-correct.
Use the page with the black and white dolphin outline for
students to colour each part, label it and create a booklet. Print
as many as necessary.

A dolphin is a marine mammal that is large, smooth, and gray; with a long, pointed mouth.
A dolphin's eye is specially adapted for seeing under water. They also have acute vision above the water.
A dolphin's pectoral flipper contains five digits. Dolphins use their pectoral flippers mainly to steer, and to stop.
The blowhole is what the dolphin uses to breathe when it reaches the water’s surface.
A dolphin’s ears, located just behind the eyes, are small holes on each side of the head.
The dorsal fin may help maintain balance as a dolphin swims.
A dolphin's melon is the fatty forehead that projects sounds that come out of the blowhole.
The snout of the dolphin is called a rostrum. Some species use it to probe the ocean floor for hiding fish.

The dolphin uses its flukes for swimming . There are no bones in a dolphin's fluke; it has tough connective tissue.
The median notch is the middle part of the dolphin's tail.
The dark belly skin color often helps to camouflage dolphins in the water.
