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
This project will bring science to life in our classroom. Students will have the opportunity to explore life on a whole new level: microscopic.
In our Montessori classroom, we study and identify the evolution of life; this project will give students the chance to see real life examples of the organisms they are studying.
Too often, students struggle while trying to imagine what they can't see. This project will give students a chance to have access to inviting concrete materials. They will have a set of materials that directly correlate with both the Montessori curriculum and with Common Core Standards.
Students will start with timelines of how life has evolved and how life is classified. They will then get to look at slides of bacteria, protests, fungi, and more! Students will dissect and examine owl pellets to see how we can find evidence from the past about life, and use their identification and critical thinking skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
