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 65 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. In case you are wondering... I have the greatest students in the history of the world.

My Project

So often, students have misconceptions about math and their abilities. They often believe that they "can't do math" or "math is hard."

"Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics; there is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels." This is the philosophy of "Mindset Mathematics: Visualizing and Investigating Big Ideas."

We are hoping to receive these books to use with our students in grades 1-6. Their open-ended thinking, mistake analysis, and inquiry approach align well with our Montessori math curriculum. The reading involved will also extend our students' literacy skills and engage them in critical thinking exercises. We would love to have this material in our classroom!
