Montessori-Inspired Resources for World Oceans Day

June 8, 2012 By Deb Chitwood 14 Comments

June 8 is World Oceans Day! I like the idea of focusing on a holiday or observance every now and then to add variety to a homeschool or classroom curriculum. The same idea works well in summer for a fun mini unit. So here are some World Ocean Day resources for you!

    Nicely done blog and website Deb. I homeschooled my son (he’s now 35) and it would have been great to have this kind of resource at the time. Thank you for visiting my blog and following me. I’m following you back. Blessings, Nancy

      Hi, Kim! Sorry to hear that’s happening. It doesn’t look like the offer has expired. Here’s the link to Montessori Helper’s contact page: http://montessorihelper.com/contact-us/. You should be able to send a message there to find out the answer. I hope that works for you.
