My Students

My Montessori students learn by using hands-on materials in our classroom. They do well when they have concrete materials to manipulate and explore. This type of learning creates an intrinsic motivation necessary to excel and get excited about education.

One of the setbacks of being a small Montessori school is the lack of money available to purchase new materials essential for my students' exploration and learning.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and show great dedication and commitment to our school. We are a small K-8 Montessori charter school with around 240 students, yet we have a lot of heart.

My Project

We have a beautiful, open classroom; however, the children absolutely love tucking themselves into cozy little spots for reading or studying.

The wood house frame I selected allows for plenty of room for all sizes of fourth and fifth grade students, while still creating a cozy spot to curl up with a book.

With the addition of a bamboo roof, plush rug, bean bags, and soft floor cushions, I see this quickly becoming a coveted location in the classroom for years to come. This will be a great place for kids to unwind with a good book after recess or a quiet place to study with a friend!
