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 though small group and individual lessons, research and inquiry, and by going out in to 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

For children who struggle with reading, exposure to books at their independent reading level is key.

When children are able to access a text independently, their love for reading can truly flourish.

In our classroom, we currently do not have enough books low enough for our lowest readers. We take library trips and print off passages, but nothing is the same as having access to a real books in the classroom. In our Montessori classroom, research is a large part of our work. Children need nonfiction books, at their level, to be able to join in on research.

This project will help children who are just learning to read excel by giving a balance of fiction and nonfiction books at their level. It also includes some classic favorites, which year after year, engage children in reading.
