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 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

"Parallel lines have so much in common. It is a shame they will never meet!" Jokes like this get students laughing and smiling. Students retain more information when they are having fun and engaged. Math games and literature will liven up math in our classroom. In the Montessori classroom, math is hands on. The materials allow students to discover mathematical theory and concepts for themselves and continue on to more advanced topics. With this frame of mind, the students embrace math wherever they find it. Our classroom needs math books and games to give students a fun and interesting way to continue practicing and learning math topics.

Your donation to this project will help make math exciting for students and help them find new ways to connect with mathematical concepts.

Students will have fun practicing much needed skills. Connecting with math at an early age will put students on a path to later success!
