My Project

I am a veteran teacher but new to a Montessori classroom. I will be teaching first, second, and third graders in an inner-city school. We are teaching and offering lessons on the first human beings, biology, botany, and poetry. We need books that will support these lessons and give them literature that elevates and challenges their thinking instead of it being very primary. We want to have books that are jumping off points to critical thinking of how the world and the earth works and that will inspire their writing.
