My Students

The children of James Simons are bright, inquisitive, and full of energy. The Montessori model allows my children to flourish in many different areas, without them feeling different. The classroom is a happy community. Students are focused. They take joy in their work. They invent, explore, experiment, confer, create, prepare snacks, and curl up with books; sometimes they might even reflect in a peaceful, meditative corner.

Older children are seen as role models within the community, in our multiple aged classroom.

They support the growth and development of younger children through socialization, assisting with new work, or teaching skills they have mastered themselves.

At any time that you may visit you will see children engaged in multiple activities, anything from partner reading, story writing, play rehearsal, using math manipulative to science experiments.

My Project

The TI-83 graphing calculators will be used in more than just mathematics. The children will use the calculators in science as well, to graph the data they have collected from self designed science experiments. Having the calculator will allow the children to focus on understanding the concepts and not calculations or drawing the graphs. The additional time will be used to focus on interpreting and solving real world problems.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
