Geometry LINE Art - Straight, Curvy, and Creative!
Our classroom is all about learning and working with specially designed materials and lessons that bring out creativity and joy in learning as well as deepen understanding of concepts in all academic areas.  Montessori is made for gifted and talented students!

I build on students' interests in the world around them with lots of animal and plant studies, planets, fossils, continents, and stories from the world over. Lessons are differentiated to foster learning for all students.

I want each child to know he or she is unique and has something to offer our classroom, a miniature society, and by extension our world.

I am joined by Dan Huelster, literacy teacher and Ela Murphy, ELL teacher for a hour from 10:30-11:30 daily for our Reader's Workshop.
