Katherine- I hear you about the R & D manuals not being very easy to use! The ones I have (geography, botany, zoology) are good but full of info that could be put on cards, without too much explanantion of how to present it, and no pictures. I'm glad I actually have the cards for the botany and zoology- I'd never be able to make them all, and the presentation make more sense when I already have the cards in front of me. Anyway, I hope you get it figured out.
Donna Marie- I hope your material making goes well! Let us know!
Celeste- Thank you for the detail about the filling boxes! I think I'll go with the tackle box option, the codes will come in handy. I think organization is going to be very key with all this grammar material.

BTW for anyone looking into sentence analysis- I struck paydirt in the files at mm2_language. There are two files explaining it (one with pictures VERY helpful) and some printables for making all those circle and arrow thingies, plus sentences to cut up. So I think I've got that figured out - woohoo! Maybe I don't need the R&D albums after all.

Thanks to everyone for talking this through with me- and the compliments on my grammar box!

I just added a tutorial (with printable labels) on how I made my grammar box to the files at mm2_language Yahoo group. Here is a link
The file is called "How to Make a Grammar Box"

I know this thread is old, but it is being referenced in a few places - so I would like to add:

Please do NOT change what Maria Montessori developed. Until we fully understand the depth, we can totally lose the whole point.
