Creation of the Universe:
The First Great Story
Ages 6-12

The Story of Creation can be told repeatedly to children from the age of six all the way through to age 12. Every re-telling of the story leads to new insights. The First Great Lesson or Story is ideally shared towards the beginning of each school year in lower and upper elementary. It reveals to students a sense of their place in the Universe by learning about the stars, the Sun, the planets, how Earth was formed, states of matter, particle behavior, and much more. It gives them tangible and real concepts for their inquisitive and curious minds to wonder about. 

Coming of Humans:
The Third Great Story
Ages 6-12

The Coming of Humans is a fascinating journey that begins 5.8 million years ago and continues today. It is the Third Great Story experienced in the Montessori environment, and can be told repeatedly to children from the age of six all the way through to age 12 after the Timeline of Life has been introduced. Every re-telling of the story leads to new insights.

Ages 6-9
