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 sixty-five 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.
My Project
"We cannot create observers by saying 'observe', but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses." - Maria Montessori
In our Montessori classroom, students engage in STEM work through inquiry, observation, research, and hands on learning.
Zoology and botany are cornerstones of our elementary curriculum.
The materials in this project will give students real life examples of life cycles and other specimens. Students will use these materials along with microscopes in the classroom to make observations, compare and contrast, and go deeper into their scientific thinking. These will be used in conjunction with their nature journals as a part of their larger environmental and STEM studies.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
