The Great River

A friend of mine requested a copy of The Great River Chart from our training the other day. When I pulled it out I realised it was a black and white one and quite blurry so I decided to recreate it.

I have made a blank (mute) chart:


And a labelled chart:


These are just black and white masters, I intend to paint my copy in the near future (and if it turns out well I will share it).

My friend decided to colour hers with pencil:



If you are looking for the story to go with this chart, or wish to read others to help you make it your own, there are several on the internet - you can simply Google "Montessori Great River Lesson" and several good links come up - there used to be a good one from Jean K Miller on a 4shared page, but I cannot see it any more. I still stick to the one from my training, but it is starting to evolve. One day, once I feel I have made it my own, I will share my version.

      It is such a great metaphor - I love how the cosmic curriculum is all about everything having a purpose and being interconnected.

    Thank you for the chart. I am using it in my presentation as part of the montessori training course.

    Thank you so much! I also found an mp3 online telling of the Great River story to go along with everything. I'm looking forward to starting this block next week!
