Montessori Moments

I remember the very first time I entered a Montessori classroom. What was this? It didn't look or feel anything like the learning environment I was familiar with. My child was intrigued. I was enthralled. Thirteen years later, I still believe that there is something magical about the Montessori way. SO much so, that I wanted to create products that would "naturally" fit onto those Montessori shelves. Clocca "fills" in the gaps and allows teachers to spend their time observing and guiding those intrigued little minds...

Time Lines in the Montessori Classroom

There are many beautiful and detailed timelines available to Montessori teachers and schools for the Montessori classroom. As a display, timelines are often underused by the Montessori child. Too many details and not enough focus can leave the student feeling intimidated and uninterested. So Clocca Concepts has created a blank timeline -12 1/2 feet long, duck cloth fabric, with wooden birch scrolls, 52 tick marks- that is reusable and can be scaled to accommodate the study of human history and/or personal history as well as transform into a number line. The use of the TimeLine Scroll is only limited by your imagination. We have designed a US History card set series to be used with the TimeLine Scroll- US Presidents, US Events, US Constitution, & US States that can be scaled out on the timeline. They were designed in a matching format. We have also designed an Integer I card set to give lessons and/or provide supplementary activities for learning positive and negative numbers. There are just endless possibilities! We have also designed 2 card set for World History- Artists & Inventions. They are designed in a “Who Am” format that can be used with or without the TimeLine Scroll.
