World History: Ancient Times Learning Materials

I'm so excited to share with you our Ancient History Learning Pack.  I made this product 4 years ago but I didn't really have the time to explain how to use this or how we are using this at home.  Let me say that I finally updated the product and there are now 2 sets available to cater to the needs of other Montessori families and schools.  This post is not a tutorial but it will explain each set in the learning pack, how we use each them and how you may benefit from them.

I know, this is elementary work, but I managed to pull-out activities that worked perfectly for both boys (10 and 5 years old).
