Montessori Print Shop Giveaway CLOSED

Congratulations #206, you won! I sent you an email!

As you have probably noticed, my blog has taken a turn in a more Montessori focused direction. “Why?” you ask…because my beliefs are largely based in the Montessori Method. I did an internship at a wonderful Montessori School while in college and fell in love. I read many of the books, studied the method. I wanted to go to school the extra year to become certified to teach Montessori but I needed to begin working so I stuck with the public school system. My heart never left Montessori though!

Although we do not have a full Montessori based homeschool, many of my ideas stem from Montessori. When I found Montessori Print Shop, I fell in love. When they signed on to be a blog sponsor and allow me to host this AMAZING giveaway I was thrilled! This is probably my all time favorite giveaway and I am still in shock that I get to be a part of blessing someone with this gift that Montessori Print Shop is giving one of you.

First, if you haven’t been to their site, go now and browse around. Even if you don’t do anything Montessori-based in your schooling…I promise you will be inspired.

If you have been to their site, you have probably drooled over the beautiful printable files they offer, both for sale and for free. I did for a long time and then I was blessed beyond words to be given the entire printable set on CD for review in order to prepare to host this giveaway! Ya’ll, the CD set is worth over $2000, with a retail price of $593.21!!! To say I was excited is a complete understatement!!!

I have printed many of the files and plan to use these for many years. Here’s just a couple of the things we have already used…

Insect 3 Part Cards

Butterfly Life Cycle Read & Illustrate

My goal for this year is to utilize the wonderful Geography printables I have been given to create Continent Boxes. I am hoping to use this to bring the world alive for all 3 of my children. Stay tuned on my blog to see this project unfold throughout this year!

Here’s a small glimpse into the other files I now own, {and one of you will too}! Obviously I don’t have time to prepare them all, but I sure wish I did-they are amazing! I have printed so many already-mostly based around science and animals. My kids absolutely eat up any information about animals!

I hope to find time to prepare many of the phonics and math printables for Ladybug when it is time. The Montessori Method for teaching math and language is wonderful.
