Montessori Timeline of Life Poem Performance
This poem is a parody of "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore. It traces the major events shown on the Montessori Timeline of Life. My 1st - 6th grade students recited it as part of a holiday performance for their parents. They dressed as creatures from prehistoric eras and really had a great time with it!
