Montessori Culture Materials: Making History, Geography, and Science Memorable!
Help me give my students Montessori Culture materials including geography nomenclature, human body nomenclature, Timeline of Life research cards and a biomes globe.
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 65 first through sixth-grade students.
My students learn through small group and individual lessons, research and inquiry, and by going out into 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. In case you are wondering... I have the greatest students in the history of the world.
My Project
In these uncertain times, we need all the help we can to connect with and engage our students! In the Montessori classroom, our Culture studies encompass many subjects and areas of learning. For this project we are hoping to receive new History, Geography and Science materials.
Montessori materials help students to make sense of concepts and skills through hands-on learning and studying nomenclature.
While our students can't be hands-on in the classroom during virtual learning, the task cards included in this project can be used from home! Many parts of these works can be shared through virtual lessons and will help get students back on track. Nomenclature cards teach students the definitions and etymology of terms so that they deepen their understanding.
I can't wait for the day we are back in the classroom and I can share the hands-on components with students! The Waseca human body material will be especially exciting, as we have not had a concrete representation in the past. The biome globe will give a 3D representation of works we already have in the classroom. The animal measuring tape is a beautiful material and I know will be a sought after work!
Thank you for taking the time to look at our project, and I can't wait to get these history, geography, and science works started!
