My Project

As soon as you enter a classroom, you know that something different is afoot. Montessori classrooms are immediately recognizable. You will see children working independently and in groups, often with specially designed learning materials; deeply engaged in their work; and respectful of themselves and their surroundings.

The Montessori Method of education provides a nurturing, supportive environment for children of all abilities and learning styles.

This includes children with disabilities and neurodivergences, including physical disabilities; learning differences in reading, writing, spelling and/or math; ADHD; and autism spectrum disorders.

Montessori education recognizes that each child learns differently and at their own pace. They will receive individualized instruction and progress through the curriculum at their own pace.

Learning in a Montessori classroom is multi-sensory and hands-on. Students learn by doing and are free to move about. This is an advantage for those who require a high level of physical activity or may have difficulty sustaining attention in a more traditional classroom setting. Additionally, the organization and structure of a Montessori classroom helps children develop organizational and time management skills that lead to independence. This is especially important for students with executive functioning deficits.

Montessori teachers are trained observers who expertly individualize instruction for all students, not just those with learning differences. Through careful observation of each student, teachers tailor their lesson planning to include accommodations for students who need support.

The materials purchased will be used to create hand-on learning materials. The child learns through the hand and these tactile, concrete learning manipulatives will help my students achieve foundational understanding of language and mathematic concepts. Setting them up for life long learning, instead of rote memorization with lack of comprehension they have currently learned through their formative educational years.
