My Students

I have the priveleage of teaching first, second, and third grade lower elementary montessori. This combination provides a strong sense of community where my assistant and I know all of the children and families. I teach in a title one school, which contains low income families. The children come to my classroom eager to learn everyday and soak in information, which gets them excited about each new day! I take each opportunity to provide my students with the best hands-on expereinces possible.

My Project

With the use of having floor tables in our classroom, students will be able to work around the room, have their own space, and also socially distance the appropriate way.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to social distance our students in the classroom, but they will also have free choice of where to work around the room and to feel like they have plenty of space to complete their work.

By having these floor tables, students will be able to stay focus, which will ultimately lead to academic acheivement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at their floor table, instead of having to worry about where to place their materials and activities.
