Do you ever feel like the Montessori curriculum is good but :
-The traditional geographic charts and their original presentations don't seem to reach the mark for your children.
-You are at a loss as to how to teach the geographic impressionistic charts and connect them to the curriculum
-You are at a loss for follow up activities to offer your learners after the geographic charts.
-Traditional Montessori materials you can find don't feature enough diversity
What would it feel like to:
I've taken the traditional Geographic Impressionistic Charts, that are used to show key concepts that link to the First Great Story and updated them for today's children and classrooms.
What's more I've reduced your workload by organising the charts into groups. This means you can
-teach a certain group of charts each year allowing you to go into depth and ensure coverage or
-Easily find resources for a certain interest a child is showing or asking about
The Bundle is arranged into four main groups. Each group is given a generic title, however as we know there is lots of cross over so you may find another relevant chart in another group.
Each Group features around 100 pages of content for you to use with minimal preparation.
Group 1: Space and Earth (covering the content of traditional geographic impressionistic charts 1-6)
Group 2: Sun (covering the content of traditional geographic impressionistic charts 7-11)
Group 3: Heat (covering the content of traditional geographic impressionistic charts 12-18)
Group 4: Climate, Seasons and Weather ( (covering the content of traditional geographic impressionistic charts 19-28)
Each 'Group' will have around 100 pages of content including:
Plus you will also receive a single set of:
I've created this resource as I know what it is like to :
-Want to have relevant to Montessori resources that integrate a variety of curriculum areas
-Teach neurodivergent children who require a higher level of teaching. The same old, same old isn't necessarily going to engage them!
-Want to authentically cover the key ethos of Cosmic Education but run out of time and energy to gather materials
-Want to ensure materials are relevant to the multicultural 21st century child but then find those resources are lacking or scattered in a huge range of places!
Questions:
Is all the content new?
The overwhelming amount of this content is brand new. Some of the Group 1 materials are reworked resources from my Volcanoes and Earthquake bundle and space resources. Nearly all of the group 2,3,4 pages are new.
I already own the Cosmic Bundle or the Whole Store Bundle, do I need to order this separately?
No you don't I will send this to you for free!
How do I use these?
These activities are a 21st version of the traditional Montessori Geographic Impressionistic Charts. The charts in most training methods feature a picture, explanation and a couple of experiments to illustrate the picture. I've updated and expanded the content to include a huge range of possible follow up activities, key vocabulary, and handwriting tasks so that there is something for all types of learners and interests!
Is this the First Great Story?
No, this is material that connects with the First Great story. As the content is so vast you may find yourself dipping in to this content all year around.
Why have you put the charts into groups?
To make it easier to see what you may want to cover and to make the materials accessible i've sorted the materials into groups. The groups are ways you may wish to teach the materials but they certainly aren't set in stone as you know your learners better than me!
Do I need to be of a particular training organisation to understand these?
No
Are the activities suitable for homeschoolers?
Yes, there are a variety of activities at different levels allowing these to be used by multiple or a single child in different ways year after year.
Should I cover everything in this bundle in order?
No way! Please follow your child and what interests them.
