Introduction
M3 by Multisori curriculum
is truly unique in its
approach to homeschooling.
It is Montessori aligned with a
child-centered approach to
learning, designed for
homeschooling parents who
choose to teach their
child(ren) from home or in a
pod, and offers ongoing
support from like-minded
parents around the world.
Buy One, Give One
Getting Started
The Practical Life subject area is the place to
begin for very young children or any child new
to Montessori at home because it quiets the
child's mind and sets the stage for a functional
homeschool experience. Work through Part 1 of
the Practical Life curriculum before introducing
anything else.
Moving Forward
When you see that your child's ability to focus
is growing, add sensorial and early math
activities. Let your child choose from a few pre-
selected works that you have identified as
developmentally appropriate. Follow the
presentation instructions on the activity cards.
Move slowly and allow time for repetition, if
desired.
How to Use
the Curriculum
Observation
Over time, add in activities based on your child's
interests. Observe and listen to find out what
those are. Use "I wonder...." questions to gauge
interest if you're not sure. Example: if she likes
animals, "I wonder what animals live in other
parts of the world."
Depth of Study
Ideally, your child will be exposed to everything
in the curriculum before age 7. Some topics will
be studied superficially, perhaps just by reading
the included mini-books. Others will be studied in
depth (mini-books, activities, 3 part cards, etc...).
Observe and determine the depth of study
based on your child's interests. *** It's ok to omit
some activities; this is part of following your
child. ***
How to Use
the Curriculum
Scope & Sequences
Use the simplified scope and sequences to gain
an understanding of the depth and breadth of
each subject area. Continually refer back to
determine what skills must precede others, but
don't let the structure of the scope and
sequence make you think that it must be
completed in order. Jumping around is normal
and probably means you're following your child.
Record Keeping
Use the record keeping rubrics to quickly and
easily keep track of where you've been and
where you're going. Begin by checking off
topics that were mastered prior to using M3 by
Multisori curriculum. Then, as you change out
materials in your environment, check off the
mastered topics simultaneously. Note that the
record keeping rubrics are not included in the
curriculum sample.

Art to Story
Kids love art! Whether they are getting messy with finger paints, using crayons to
make a picture, or drawing with sidewalk chalk, children universally enjoy creating
their own artwork. And, it's a good thing! Numerous studies have shown that the
process of creating art supports children in many areas of their development.
Creating art is a proven mechanism for storytelling for young children. Its visual focus
means that even children who are not confident about writing or find it difficult to
express themselves with words can use imagery instead. The benefits of narrative art
in particular are many: from emotional expression to social and cultural awareness, as
well as developing creativity and building critical thinking skills. Including narrative art
in a young child's curriculum is a powerful method for human development.
Narrative art, or art that tells a story, has been around for many thousands of years.
In fact, some of the earliest evidence of human art suggests that people told stories
with pictures many years ago. It's important to society as a whole because it informs
how we view and understand the world, giving shape and character to historical
events and structures.
Did you know that you can tell a story with art?
Artists often tell stories with the artworks they make.
1 When they do this, the art is called narrative art.
When you make your own narrative art, think about the people and
6 animals in your story. They are called the characters.
You should also think about where and when the story takes place.
This is called your story's setting. Is it day or night? Is there anything
7 important to draw, like a playground, boat, plane or food?
Then think about what happens in your story. This is called the plot.
As a narrative artist, your job is to make sure the plot is clear and
organized. Can you tell what might have happened in the story
8 described in the pictures on the last three pages?
People may see your art and ask questions like "Who is in this picture?",
"Where are they?", and "What is happening?". As you answer them,
9 you are telling a story and your narrative artwork is coming to life!
Isn't it awesome to know to know that you can create your very own
10 story just by making art? Who-hoo! You're a storyteller!

What to do:

Land & Water Forms
Children are born scientists. They enjoy seeing how things work
(observing), guessing what will happen if… (predicting), testing
out their hypotheses (experimenting) and figuring out why
things occur (interpreting). Young children learn best when they
are able to be involved - and the more senses the better! That's
why Multisori provides this book to supplement your study of
Land & Water Forms - to give your students a wide variety of
sensorial ways to learn. This process helps children build self-
confidence and critical thinking skills.
You already know that the earth is made of land, water & air.
But, did you know that there are special ways
land and water form on the earth?

This means that most of the body of water touches land and a

Along the way, they track their progress using a fun and simple road map. The
levels are arranged as follows:

Students work through four steps within each level:
1. Students attempt to spell the words displayed in the picture cards,
2. Students match the word cards to the picture cards,
3. Students use the word cards as flashcards to read the words aloud &
4. Students read the sentence cards.
The cards use beautiful images to illustrate each word, as well as large print that
highlights the phonetic element used in the word. All of the cards are color-coded to
match up with each of the 7 rainbow colored levels. Please note: If you choose to
use the writing supplement along with the reading program, please include them as
a step in between steps 3 and 4 (for a total of 5 steps per level).

My 5 Senses
Touch
The organ for touch is the skin. Our skin acts protects our
22 sensitive internal body systems from the outside world.
Touch
The skin's “sense of touch” is what gives our brains
information about our environment, including
3
temperature (hot/cold) and texture (hard/soft).
Touch
Most importantly, this sense of touch lets us feel physical pain
42 – a necessity for avoiding injury, disease, and danger.
Sight
We perceive shapes, distance, movement, color, heat and
depth by our sense of sight. The organ for the sense of sight is
5
the eye. It's a sphere, roughly the shape of a ping-pong ball.
Sight
The eye alone cannot make sight possible. It works with the
62 brain and on the outside, needs light to be present.
Hearing
The organ for hearing sound is the ear. It is
7 one of the most complex and useful organs in our body.
Hearing
Hearing sounds is all about vibrations. Vibrations cause sound
2
8 waves that our ears hear and our brains interpret.
Smell
The organ for smell is the nose.
9
Smell
In order to be able to smell a scent, small particles (called
2
10 molecules) of the scent must enter our noses.
Taste
The organ for taste is the tongue.
11
Taste
2 The surface of your tongue has taste buds that allow you to
12
detect sweet, bitter, sour, salty and savory flavors.
