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 twenty eight first through third 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 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 learn through hands on materials. We spend a great deal of time learning about how life on Earth.
The Tree of Life material found in this project teaches children how to classify living things, and concretely shows the incredible biodiversity of Earth.
Beautiful materials draw children in and excite them about their learning.
With this material, children first work to put together the puzzle pieces of the tree with or without a guide, recognizing common ancestry and making connections among living organisms. They then use species cards to increase literacy, begin studying species in depth, and to inspire further research.
The Tree of Life would be a fantastic addition to our classroom!
