A Guide for the Montessori Classroom: Summer
brings
full-circle the year’s curriculum that begins with the Fall guide.
It completes the study of living things on earth with insects,
spiders, mammals, animal senses and defenses; ecology and the food
web; the oceans, ocean and seashore life; and care of the earth. It completes the study of the continents with
Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica.
If your school does not have a summer session these significant
themes in the summer guide are necessary to complete the year's
studies and may be integrated into a nine-month
program. Many schools use the curriculum over a two or three
year period.

Instructions are included for making and presenting Celebration of
Life- a meaningful way to honor a child's life accomplishments and
birthday.
A Supplement: Instructions for
the Montessori Work, the companion book for the guides, is now
available for homeschool parents using the curriculum. See the
Table of Contents page of the supplement
or click "Supplement to the Guides"
on the left side of this web page.
A daily art activity is presented Montessori style, to be chosen
independently from the shelf. Emphasis is on the joy of process
rather than product. Instructions explain the materials needed, how
to set up the work, and the process or demonstration.
Teachers and home school parents love the theme related book lists.
