I teach in a multi-age classroom of children between the ages of 3-6. Our school is one of the few public Montessori schools in our city. My students are very active and enjoy different hands-on activities.
"The first duty of an education is to stir up life, but leave it free to develop." These are Dr. Maria Montessori's words and I need your help to stir up my children's learning and entice their thirst for knowledge!
Thank you in advance.
My Project
My project is geared towards adding STEM activities to our Montessori classroom.
My students are inquisitive and curious of the world around them.
They are not afraid of challenge and thrive on problem solving to learn different concepts using concrete materials. They want to be engaged in questioning and analyzing real world problems. My students need updated STEM activities in our science area such as building tools, microscope and stethoscope.
The materials I am requesting are evidently supportive of my students' involvement towards enriching conversation, discussions and negotiations between peers to collaborate on different science, technology, engineering and math concepts. These will aid my students to integrate their learning of the said subjects areas into a multi-faceted mastery of ideas.
This project will make a difference in improving my classroom because my students will be supported with enticing materials that spark their curiosity. Also, the materials will allow them to persevere towards a common goal of finding solutions to the problems presented to them.
Half of students from low‑income households
