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 fifty-five first through fifth-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

In our Montessori classroom, students have shelves full of inviting materials which teach and inspire further research. One of our students' favorite materials is a set of world landmark miniatures. Students match and learn about the Taj Mahal, Easter Island, The Colosseum, and more. They are left wanting more!

Through this project, students will have the resources to further research world landmarks with exciting, student friendly books.

This project includes books from the What Is/Was? and Where is? series. These books are at appropriate reading levels for our students, engage students with fun facts and interesting stories, and increase geography skills with maps, charts, and diagrams. After students are given a lesson on the miniatures, they will use these books to complete individual and group research.

This project will help connect students to other places around the world and continue to inspire research and inquiry.
