I am not sure where you are at, but Xander loved these lessons so much. Most of my posts about grammar so far are from this album - with help from Montessori for Everyone blog posts. We have started Grammar Box work and it's a bit more dry:) He is enjoying it, but these early hands on lessons really captivated him. I will be posting our Grammar Box work, and printables for each lesson we work on. The manuals really do make everything clear. I appreciate your comments, questions, and very kind words!! I wish you great success on your journey!!Cherine Muirheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107665808653181237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-25017171904239594022014-02-06T14:21:20.116-08:002014-02-06T14:21:20.116-08:00Hi Cherine,

Greatly appreciated!<br /><br />I am just starting out on our Montessori journey. I have to say that LA and Grammar is one of the things that terrifies me most. Will this manual help me to get started or is there something else that you would recommend to get me going?<br /><br />I love your blog! It has inspired me many times with the resources I have been creating!

These are fantastic!
I just wanted to point...Wow! These are fantastic! <br /><br />I just wanted to point out about the colors. It's not so much that they've changed, as some people have been a touch confused by them, so made some changes for what they "thought" made sense. <br /><br />The noun is black - always. <br /><br />But the other parts of speech in THIS material (the grammar boxes) do not match their colors with the symbols - so that the children don't just associate the color with the part of speech, thus making this a matching activity, rather than a thinking activity, where they have to read the word and decided what part of speech it could be (and it emphasizes that some words can be varying parts of speech as they first make mistakes with some of the words, or decide to "pretend" it is a different part of speech and make a silly phrase with it :) ). <br /><br />The other thing that confuses people (I don't see this in your post, but thought I'd add it just in case anyone is interested) - is that the boxes are numbered according to how many compartments they have. For example, there is no noun grammar box (that "would be" box #1). So the article is the first box presented, but is named "box #2". <br /><br />I hope that is helpful :)<br /><br />I do wish I could make these grammar boxes! (you might consider making and selling them..... ;) )Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-43467530880069872652011-10-18T04:31:50.920-07:002011-10-18T04:31:50.920-07:00Wow... thank you!!!
