New Montessori Products at Garden of Francis

Some recent new additions to the Montessori "family" at Garden of Francis:




Oceans Puzzle Map

• Choose to combine it with a world puzzle map (movable continents AND oceans) or be a straight-up ocean puzzle map (only the oceans are puzzle pieces). 

Banded Line Paper in Green, Pink and Blue

• These colors do NOT correspond with the PBG series, but are correlated to the paper sizes provided via AMI training: start with the green lined paper which is widest; move to the pink when ready (might be using pink for some and green for other writing), then move to blue (the narrowest) when ready. Many lower elementary children are still using the blue paper. 

Printables:

• Garden of Francis now offers many of the downloadable files in printed format to be mailed to you. Lamination is also an option on the printed items. All primary and elementary downloadable materials currently available for sale are now available in printed format. 

Downloads AND Printables

• Every download you need for the content of elementary Montessori language experience is NOW ready to purchase! Logical analysis, the "I love" packets for verb tenses, word study, grammar boxes, and more! 
• This includes all the necessary content - additional supplements will be added over time; such as downloadable/printables for creating boxes to hold the verb tense material and more. 

Faith Formation Montessori-Style: 

• New design on the Liturgical Calendar with deeper prisms for the Sundays of the church year. 
• If painted calendars are purchased, the outer edge of each Sunday prism is painted gold to represent the light of Christ remaining constant throughout the year. This also helps the child situate the pieces properly within the liturgical calendar.

Montessori News: Materials and an Elementary Online Homeschool Course

Interested in elementary level Montessori as a homeschooling family? We have a short survey, we would *love* to have you complete. It will provide direction for the development of an online Montessori training course at the elementary level. For years, I have seen the primary level course offered and it is time to have an elementary course for those families wanting to continue Montessori but still don't have time to pull all those internet and print resources together and make it happen at home.
