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
The clay and canvas will allow our children to create pieces of art, and creatively respond to their work.
It is amazing what children will create when given the time, supplies, and inspiration.
In our Montessori classroom, students complete research and have lessons in many different areas. When they finish a work, they often produce a creative response to display with their work.
The most sought after materials for these tasks are clay and canvas. Children love to manipulate clay with their hands and create new things. This work is fantastic for their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills. In order to keep clay from drying out, we need air tight containers for this and other painting supplies.
Painting on paper can be fun, but nothing beats the feeling of creating a real painting on canvas. In our classroom we strive to create experiences that are as authentic as possible and canvases, paint, brushes, easels, and palettes will help the child feel like a real artist.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
