FREE PDF Spanish Translation of Montessori Cosmic Education, The Child’s Discovery of a Global Vision and a Cosmic Task.
For years it has been my honor to work in, or with, people in, several Latin American countries: Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay, and Argentina. It is difficult for them to obtain my books, in English or Spanish/Portuguese. To remedy this situation, this new book, considered a good place to begin to discover Montessori—or as a reminder of what our work can mean to those who have been in the field for years—it is available as a free PDF download. I hope it reaches many and that your children will benefit. To see or download the book: CLICK: Spanish translation PDF

Valuable as a Language Project for Montessori Students and Young Adults
During the preschool years, the Montessori continent maps introduce children to the shape, relationships, size, and names of Latin American countries because this is the motor (movement) sensorial (senses) stage of learning, and the absorbing-language period of life. These impressions can remain forever..
At age 6-18, Montessori students began their studies with the 5 Great Lessons (Solar System, plants and animals on earth, human civilizations and their creations of language and math/geometry). The fourth Great Lesson is the study of language. Students explore and discover, more and more deeply, how and why language came about and spread, language from prehistory to the present time. For example, “Why is Spanish and Portuguese spoken so far from Spain and Portugal?” The answers lie in their exploration of the development of civilizations; the many reasons for migrations such as weather events; migrations to find ways to meet the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of humans; being isolated geographically; the natural human tendency to explore and create, and more.
In class, if they are available in the library, the Spanish version can be compared to the English, German, Ukrainian (free Ukrainian PDF), or Romanian version (and more translations are in progress). The books, inexpensive additions to a school or home library, provide a an example of how all humans have the same needs no matter where they live or what language they speak; and most importantly, the topic, “A child’s Discovery of a Global Vision and a Cosmic Task,” is something that, having begun at the Montessori s primary class level with the maps and culture studies, for older children provides a very important concept to think about and discuss—as they began the search for their own Cosmic Task, now with friends and family, and perhaps in the future as a profession.
Here is blog post about this book, in English, that explains more about the value of this concept, and this book.
