Grammar Mats

Grammar Mats Developed as an extension of the Montessori farm for elementary classrooms, children use cards color-coded to the parts of speech to label things and places, then describe them with adjectives and introduce them with articles. Verbs, prepositions, adverbs, and conjunctions follow to make exciting sentences to be symbolized. Words are chosen to relate to the aspect of the biome curriculum illustrated on the mat. These materials includes a lesson outline, a box with dividers for the cards, and the same word cards on white paper for greater challenge.

African Savannah Mat »
The African Grassland Mat is first in the series of Biome Theatres designed for primary aged children as well as elementary. With plastic animals for each character, it tells a story of animal behavior. Included are picture and text cards that tell the story in a sequence numbered on the back of the cards. Having heard the story, the child practices enacting it with the help of the sequence cards. Eventually, the child becomes a storyteller and may share the story on the circle, having friends act out the parts. Included are animal track stamps to tell the story in tracks on paper and grammar labels to extend the work for elementary children. (3 to 8 years)
