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

For some students, reading and writing do not come easy. We find that there are students in the elementary years who still struggle with writing letters and numbers. This makes it difficult to communicate effectively and move forward in their lessons.

For students struggling with reading and writing, innovative interventions are necessary to engage students and reach them in a different way.

In this project, we are requesting magnetic tracing boards for students who have a hard time with letters and numbers. Pencil grips help many students with the physical act of writing. We also are requesting highlighting strips for reading. For some students, this layer of color can make the difference in helping them focus and seeing the words. We also are asking for dry erase boards and markers. Students use these when practicing spelling and other writing lessons in small groups.

We greatly appreciate you taking the time to check out our project!
