Thanks so much for your kind comment, Aisha! I haven’t done any posts on the Olympics yet. I have a post on DIY Geometric Shapes if that helps at all: https://livingmontessorinow.com/2011/12/05/montessori-monday-diy-geometric-shapes/. Hopefully, you can find lots of Olympic activities through Google. Good luck! 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing that, Jessica! I think it’s very helpful, especially for Montessori homeschoolers who are wondering how to proceed to the elementary level. 🙂

Here is a post I recently did that shows how I organized my brain to understand the connections from primary to elementary – in hopes it might be of help to someone else 🙂

Thanks, Carolyn! I found that using Montessori principles with my own children in our homeschool helped them become very self-motivated and self-directed. And they actually still love learning even after graduating from college! 🙂

Thanks, Rachel! I’m having fun researching the Montessori elementary resources available now. It’s so great that there are more resources available all the time! 🙂

This is tremendously helpful information. The closest experience I had to this type of teaching was a long time ago in MATH THEIR WAY classes. I just love the focus on the child and helping them build their own meaning in learning and providing help only when needed. I like it that children are not pushed and learn at their own levels. Thanks so much, Carolyn

I’m excited to see this series of posts! There’s so much out there for the primary years, but very little for the elementary level! Can’t wait for the rest! Thanks!
