My Students

Our classroom is an open and inviting environment designed to foster independent student learning. My students are thirsty for new materials to continue their education.

I teach in a public urban multi-age Montessori school with forty-five first through fourth grade students.

My students learn through small group and individual lessons, research and inquiry, and by going out into our community. My students come from all different backgrounds racially and socioeconomically and live in an urban setting. My co-teacher and I are piloting a combined Montessori 1st-6th grade classroom.

My students are involved in social justice and environmental conscious movements taking a stand and trying to better the world. Our students work hard with the resources they have to follow their passions and find meaning in their education.

My Project

We are looking to add new animals to our classroom for the next school year.

In the Montessori classroom, we surround ourselves with living things: plants and animals.

Children thrive when surrounded by living things. They benefit from learning responsibility taking care of them and learn how to respect and value all living things, no matter how small. We would like to have an example in our classroom of an amphibian, reptile, mammal, bird, and fish. To widen our selections for next year we would like to add a bird and mammals.

We will use the cage and hammocks for pet rats and plan to adopt a bird from our local Humane Society. We will use the airtight storage containers to house food and supplies for these animals and the ones we already have.
