Welcome to the file, photo and pattern archive for crafty, creative and passionate Montessori teachers and homeschooling families! Group members can find tutorials and other ideas at the main blog: http://sewliberated.typepad.com/sew_liberated/montessori/. This Yahoo group will allow us to post Word, Excel, Pdf and photo files so other Montessorians can download them and print them off. For example, if someone is particularly efficient at making grids, etc. for math work, why not share it here for others who are not so comfortable creating on the computer? Other ideas include, but are not limited to, files of Who Am I? stories that one has written, reading classification cards, record keeping methods, parent education documents, patterns for handmade materials, and photos/drawings/files for definition stage work (i.e. parts of animals, flowers, tree, etc.)

Ultimately this resource, along with the blog Sew Liberated, is meant to form a community of motivated and inspired parents and guides who can support each other in their work and their own personal quests to become the best human beings possible for the benefit of the children who surround them.

*****All of the links to my Box.net files can be found in the "LINKS"
section on the left side bar. Just click on the title of the
folder/link to be taken directly to the files. If there is a pertinent
blog post related to the use of the materials, I have also added a
text link in the item's link description. You'll have to copy and
paste the text into your browser. Remember that the Album PDFs are
still pa*sword protected, but now I've put the pa*sword in the link's
description so you'll have it at your fingertips when prompted by
Adobe Acrobat.

Also, don't forget to search the regular "FILES" section of the
yahoo group for many more resources, some of which go with or
complement the materials in the "LINKS" section.******
