Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Thanks Jennifer and Meredith!

Another question, how did you get your dc to use them? did you required them? How frequently did you have them work on these? Did you just set them out and hope they would be attracted to them?

Well, I'm not a Montessori purist, Natalia...so I set them out, but I would require them to work on the research card. It was usually after we'd spent a bit of time on a study of the particular topic, and I'd maybe set a Friday aside for research and writing. So, it wasn't every Friday at all. I just filled in with them, but they launched us on sometimes week-long rabbit trails, so you do have to be ready to make room for something like that in your week.

I used them sporadically, to fill in where I needed.

There were times when the kids got really excited about seeing a card that they took it down and just ran with it - like the plant research cards.

I have a weekly sheet for my older two and it's one of their "choices" which I ask them to make each week. It was always chosen cause they really liked doing it. It was great for my dd's Botany work especially!

Oh my goodness, I am going to bump this one more time to say "Thank you ladies"!!!   

I just emailed Lori about these exact lists, never thought to check here... Found this posting by doing a search on 'biomes' ... Jennifer the breakdown was very helpful. WOW -- I've had these sitting in *my cart* for a couple weeks, but now I'm off to make my purchase. -- Thanks!!

Oh, I'm so glad you found the thread helpful, Leslie!!! I'm pretty much a walking commercial for Lori anyway , but I am glad you're getting the cards and I hope they will bring as much joy to your days as they have brought to ours!

Glad you bumped so others could check out the thread!
