Montessori timeline

History, 6-9+ In a Montessori education, children develop a sense of peace and unity with the world. That is the result of the way contents are approached, from whole to parts. An example is the st…

This summer break I have been busy with making the ‘missing’ timelines for the elementary environment. Having already oriented themselves to their immediate environment in their first p…

Montessori history timelines are wonderful materials that directly relate to the fascinating stories of the Great Lessons in a hands-on, linear manner.

In the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, there were only a few images that I used from the Garden of Francis download. For the Mesozoic, I used ...

This week Doodle continued working with his timeline art cards, and began Lesson 2, The Coming of Life. I don't think that I have actually posted a picture of the art history timeline cards. They are from TeachersPayTeachers for $3, I figure we will be using them long enough that they were worth laminating. There are 22 three-part cards (so 66 pieces) covering art from the stone age through modern. Right now Doodle is working with cards 1-11. For Lesson 2, I used Miss Barbara's Story of the…

The timeline is a useful tool for tying together learning in a living education. We spend time each week adding to our timeline cards, and I regularly work on a personal timeline. Here are a few favorite timeline resources. 🕰️ The Peaceful Press Timeline Cards -These cards include dates and na

The Montessori Timeline of Life is an iconic material used in the elementary classroom. It serves as a framework for the entire zoology, botany and geology curriculum.

We spent about a week learning about Earth’s four eons and most recent eras. Today I wanted to share several of the activities we did to go along with this part of our unit. As you may recall, we reviewed the planets in the Solar System, talked about the age of the Earth (4.6 Billion years) and did an impressionistic activity to show how short human history actually is compared to...

We have started our study of the Time Line of Life. This has been such an amazing experience. I don't think we've ever had a unit study where all three kiddos were equally excited about the theme. Bulldozer is loving the study of the Earth, learning about earthquakes, volcanoes, and the types of rocks. Dinomite is over the moon about studying so many prehistoric creatures in depth. Princess is loving the biology aspect of the study, especially the first activity below. These…

Finally! A picture of my (mostly) completed replacement for the Timeline of Humans! I say "mostly" because I plan to get this laminated. However, the most economical laminating in my area is at the local teacher's supply store and this is NOT the time of year to have something laminated there. I want to wait another week until all the school teachers have had at least a week at school and the rush for laminating has died down a bit. I could also laminate it with a roll of clear contact…
