My Students

We live in a densely populated area of a large city that shares many of the challenges facing other cities of this size. As teachers, we are sensitive to the fact that many of our students struggle to get their basic needs met. All of our students receive free or reduced price lunch and breakfast and many of our students are dealing with some kind of significant trauma. Our classroom is the primary age level (three- to six-year-olds) of a diverse Montessori public school. Our classroom is a safe environment designed to help us pursue our natural curiosities to learn as well as learn how to peacefully engage and grow with the members of our community.

My Project

We are working on STEM activities in our classroom. My students need Lego bricks to create and build structures like castles or bridges.

The interlocking cubes will strengthen fine motor skills as students put the blocks together to make towers, letters or numbers.

The Magna-Tiles are so popular with young children. My students would love the opportunity to construct buildings with the Magna-Tiles. Students would work cooperatively to connect the magnetic pieces to make a house, car or store.

Thank you for helping us get the materials we need to be successful.
