As I have recently started hs my dd (almost 6) in a Montessori inspired way, and it has been challenging and interesting in many ways (she has attended a Montessori preschool for several years), I am constantly looking for information and suitable materials for 6-9 age group. There seems to be an abundance of those for the 3-6 age group, but not so for the older ones. When I looked in your archives, you talked about swapping the 3 part cards (those with pic, labels & control card with both) to cards involving definitions. Can you tell me more about these?<br/>Jo I have recently come across your blog, and your posts are always so interesting and thought provoking.
