I have another amazing product review for you today! As many of you know, at the beginning of the year I had a heck of a time working out how to do elementary Montessori work in a homeschool setting. One of the big things that I had a hard time working out was the timeline of life. It was just SO expensive and I just didnt have the money to do it. So after a bunch of research, I finally made my own timeline using the pictures from the timeline of life that was on the market. I hand drew all the pictures and added the time periods. I of course shared it with you so that you wouldn't have to do all that work too! :) However, as pretty as it was, Bunny just never really was interested in using it for research! What I found was that we had no real way of finding more information. She might want to know more, but I didnt know where to find more information. This made the timeline pretty much just a pretty picture. Well all this changed when Montessori Services sent me a copy of their Timeline of Life Research Books! They are....AWESOME! Each page has one of the pictures from the timeline and underneath it is a paragraph with information on that picture. Each time period is explained on a page before the pictures from that time. They are very though, interestingly written, and ready to answer those burning questions about things that are on the timeline! What I love is that they are small, and they work perfectly with the timeline I made! I think that if there were something that I would recommend buying it would be these! Even without the timeline, you could easy make the timeline by copying the pictures in the book to add to your own timeline. The information in these make them an invaluable resource for the Great Lessons!

I'm actually interested in the time line research books. This is something I haven't even started yet because it seems so overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteWe love all their stuff. Would love their timelines.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love to help in the kitchen so I would use it for their food preparation items.
