if maria montessori could visit antarctica, she would teach children there too.

teaching children about maria montessori is so important. once they realize that a woman's name is the same name as their school, they come to appreciate their experience more in their own little ways. i made this work and i just want to play with it all day! it is a timeline - the cards are numbered on the back so that you can read or look at them in order. each card describes when and where maria montessori influenced teachers and children in each continent. the wooden "children of the world" coordinate with the cards and the planisphere mat so that nonreaders can still look at the images and match everything together. all the colors are the same as the montessori puzzle maps and globes. the only continent she did not leave a stamp on was antarctica, but if she could have, i think she would have!
