Tour of our science shelves here I posted a tour of our science shelves for the 2nd Great lesson on IGTV today. I had some requests for our materials used, so I have the sources here. Some are affiliate links (at no cost to you). Hope this is helpful! Montessori Services: Timeline of Life. I…
I’ve got globes coming out of my ears. Well not really. Could you imagine? Sometimes I can get a big head, but not 12-inch-globes-out-of-her-ear-holes big. Why do we have more than one globe? I have spent a lot of time scouting the web for the perfect globes — or at least decent quality ones that…
