Curriculum materials ~
A Guide for the Montessori
Classroom
is a set of four
guides (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer) providing a complete
curriculum based on Maria Montessori’s peace curriculum or "cosmic
education" with built-in flexibility for continued use each year as
it grows with the child from ages 3 to 12.
The curriculum may be followed day by
day if desired, but may also be used as a "guide" to
integrate
Maria Montessori's cosmic theme into all the areas of the classroom
while following the needs and interests of each child.
See How to
Use the Guides.
Supplement to the Guides
was developed in response to homeschool parents using the guides. It
gives simple yet concise instructions for the Montessori materials,
Grace & Courtesy lessons, the Great Lessons, for making many of
the materials, as well as an overview of Montessori philosophy, a
list of recommended Montessori material resources, and guidelines
for using with ages 6 to 12. Use
the Kaybee Montessori link on the left for quality Gonzagarredi
equipment.
Art for the Montessori
Classroom (and homeschool) is
a complete art curriculum with over 240 pages of valuable
information such as setting up the art area, art supply lists, art
terms, art recipes, lesson plans that teach the elements of art,
principles of design, and other art concepts and processes.
Montessori-style lesson plans for use with the individual child.

Montessori verbal command cards with
simple instructions for doing 95 yoga poses~ for children

Home School Curriculum
The Montessori Method is used
with
groups of children of varying
ages (3 to 6, 6 to 9, and 9 to 12) and it is well suited for the homeschool environment of a single
child or group of varying ages. The set of four guides includes day
by day lesson suggestions for each day of the year. The Supplement to the Guides
was created especially for homeschooling parents. It contains an overview of
Montessori philosophy, guidelines for using the guides, and instructions
for the
Montessori materials. When using the Montessori manipulative
equipment (see Kaybee Montessori on the left column) no other
teaching texts are needed with ages 3 to 6. Math, Language,
and other areas of study are built into the equipment. The older
child will use research books to further explore areas of interest.
This curriculum may also be combined with traditional methods. This complete curriculum includes an
invitation for one-on-one questions with the author, Gini Newcomb.
