My Students

Does your child want to build with legos every spare moment of every day? Is there always a lego in their pocket?

All of my students love to be mechanical and build with legos.

We are a Montessori school and we follow the interests of the child to build our curriculum. We meet the child where they are academically and emotionally to help them learn at their own pace.

My Project

Working as a team promotes tolerance and cooperation. In teams the students will create and inspire each other by building the simple machine creations. The K-nex simple machine set has enough parts for each team to each build their own. The older children will offer help to the younger children in the group and each will be successful.

Having the simple machine set will not only help us cover common core science standards, they will promote cooperation and further boost the self confidence levels of each child with the finished product.
