New Materials by Month
Many of you purchase CD-ROMs from me, and then are interested in buying new files when they come out. So, I thought I'd put up a handy post with a list of new materials by month.

Helpful Foreign Language Resources
Since many people have emailed me and asked for foreign language resources in a Montessori style, I thought I’d put together some helpful links.
