All Day...
All day today, with a few breaks and routine childcare/household duties, I have been downloading items from montessorimaterials.org I spent a crazy amount of time doing this. I sat down prepared with several blank CD's to fill up with the lessons I found here. It all amounted to slightly less than 60mb - less than 1/10th of a CD! I did skip a few things, but very few. I'm surprised, but I think happy that the new folder is so small. Montessori Materials has a wide range of activities, cards, lesson plans, etc. Some of the material is great, some of it is fine and some of it falls into the category of "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Perhaps I could do better, perhaps not, most likely I will not have the time to find out. Everything actually offered on the site is free to use for yourself, posted by other Montessori Guides (parents and/or teachers?) There is also a links list of things that may or may not be free. As a "dot org" website, it is non-profit and runs with minimal cost on donations.
