DD went to a montessori preschool for a year and seemed to like the method, so I was considering going with a montessori method for homeschooling, but... I'm finding a lot of materials but not a lot of what to do with them or how the progression should go. So, where did you learn about that?

: ), but they're set up in a particular order of introduction [not "do this, then this, then this", but more like "you can do these 5 things from this album and these 2 things from this album and these 5 things from this album...once the child has developed mastery, here are a handful of new things that can be introduced"). So far, I've found it really easy to use them in homeschooling. I had to adapt a few things...obviously the stuff about learning classroom rules and the like aren't things that we specifically needed to go through. DD1 knows where the sink and toilet are and how to wash her hands in our sink, so we skipped that part. We basically went with the assumption that she lives in our house, she is aware of where things are, and she knows the rules. So we skipped through past that (this stuff is all in the grace & courtesy section). But all the rest of the albums adapt really really easily to the homeschool realm. Like the first thing in physical science is "parts of a flashlight"--pretty easy since we have that at home already.
