My students are 4 years old, Spanish speakers, from low income families, receiving free breakfast and lunch. Despite so many challenges they face, they are eager to learn and to do their best. My little students love to move, talk and create projects through the literacy, math, science, blocks, roll play, sensory and art centers. In my classroom, they are able to choose their centers to work in a flexible space with a combination of traditional and Montessori engaging learning materials. They are our future thinkers and I want to provide them meaningful learning experiences in a sensible friendly environment. When I give my students choices I see greater engagement, more excitement, and a higher desire to learn. Their effort increases and there is a certain amount of pride that comes out in their work. I am grateful to see my students learning with fun while exploring with all their senses.
