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.

Has anyone purchased the Montessori Timeline of Life set with the control timeline and the working one with all the cut outs and label cards? It costs about $200. I've been thinking about buying this for a few years and now with having 6 that will get use of it I'm really thinking contemplating it as we're doing the Great Lessons in January. I'd like to hear from anyone who has it and if they think it was worth the cost.

Thanks!

I handmade mine based on Barbara's great lessons web site. It was time consuming, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money. I've used it four years now and am very happy to be able to pull it out each year.
My kids get timelines at Atrium as well so I feel like the time line of salvation history dovetails well with this life timeline.

NAMC includes a printable timeline of life and clock of eras on their History and Five Great Lessons blackline masters CD. Their price list gives the price as $55. You can buy it separately from the album.

This is actually the one I have used. It doesn't have the cut outs and label cards, but you can make your own from the printables they provide. I printed mine out on separate pieces of cardstock and let my kids color it, but honestly, I think they've gotten just as much if not more from the timelines included in prehistoric encyclopedia type books.
