My Students
My students are an audacious group of inquisitive 6-9 year olds attending a public Montessori school on the West Side of Chicago. This group engages with materials at their own level and at their own interest level.
Students are presented a global introduction of the world, helping them learn how all parts of our universe are connected.
Students will build a sense of purpose in the world by learning about all which their curiosities will drive them towards.
We will expand our minds and hearts this year. I hope to foster a love of learning and build kind, compassionate citizens that are joyful and inquisitive learners.
My Project
I am looking to grow my classroom library to fit the needs and interests of the older students in my mixed aged Montessori classroom. My classroom library is one of my favorite areas of my room due to the many years of love in developing a collection of classics and modern titles that reflect my students.
Unfortunately, most of the titles and reading levels of my current collection are more targeted for a younger audience causing me to explore the addition of more chapter books for my older students.
I would like to begin to expand my library to include all the members of my classroom. Students will use the library daily to practice reading strategies learned during Reader's Workshop as well as a place to go to research topics of individual study.
With the aid of new books, all students will be able to participate in these activities.
