Online Materials Links for Primary, Lower and Upper Elementary Montessori

-

Okay.  As a trained Montessori Teacher, I admit it:  online materials are NO REPLACEMENT FOR MONTESSORI MATERIALS, but times are tough for many right now.  COVID-19 is still very present in our lives and in our communities.  Below is a list of Montessori Materials links, free for home use.  These materials can enhance a school experience or home school, but are no replacement for work in the hands of a child.  In my virtual teaching, my students each have the materials in their hands and on the screen.  Before use of any of these, please be sure access albums or a trained teacher for help.

She rolls a 7, takes a nickle and two pennies. She rolls a 10, gets a dime. She rolls a 5, and needs to exchange her

Three New Works

-
Image
The first photo is a spooning/scooping work for Practical Life, physical skills. The children went on a nature hunt to find the acorns. The second is for our oldest, who loves to make different designs in the small pegs. It is such careful work, great for encouraging correct grip in later writing. The third photo is a little gem I found at Discount School Supply , it's for toddler fine motor skills and gaining tracing/writing abilities. It is also a calming labyrinth for my oldest. There are 8 frame shapes total.
