Lisa Nolan online homeschool activities?

[lotusblossom9]

I have been looking into purchasing Lisa Nolan's homeschool Montessori activities for DS who is 7 months old. The website is www.montessorifortheearth.com. I have read Montessori from the Start but would like some visuals and more detailed explanations of activities they suggest and thought this might help me.

Has anyone purchased this program before? If so, did you choose the email consultation as well? Is it worth the money?

(If the M teachers can take a look at this site and tell me what you think that would help too!)

I haven't. But I'm curious about it, too. I hope you get some answers!

I just looked around on her website and some of her programs are as little as $19.99. She offers a full refund if you're not happy, so I say give it a try!! I wish she had a sample of some of her lessons, though (or did I miss it?)

Yes, she does have sample lessons on the website. If you click on the program it will list all of the activities provided. One of the activities is underlined and will open up another window with the lesson plan when clicked.

I like how she offers pictures of the lessons.

Oh, thanks for telling me where to find samples. I had a chance to look at them and if you want my honest opinion, after looking at her samples, I don't think I'd spend the money. She probably has done a wonderful job, but you can find the exact same thing by looking at Montessori blogs or even on this link:

Here are a couple of my favorite blogs:

I have learned a lot from the above.

Thank you so much for the websites.

Do you know any sites or books for younger children? The reason I was interested in Lisa Nolan's activities was because she offered activities for little ones (DS is 7 months old) and ideas on how to make the materials. It seems like most of the books and sites that I have found offer activities for children 3 years and older.

Also, on Shu-Chen Jenny Yen's site, are those lessons to be taught in the order given?

Maybe one of the Montessori teachers here can better answer that for you (I would assume yes?). You can probably email her directly and ask.

Here's a great video to watch. I think Matt has posted this before:
