Due to Hurricane Isaac, schools were closed
yesterday and again today. I can
honestly say that I was upset to hear that I wouldn’t have a full week with my
new students. I guess that’s a good sign, and I hope this year continues to go
smoothly. My class is really coming together
as a team. We are learning to work together and help everyone succeed. This is my first year at a Montessori
school. I am slowly learning how to
incorporate all of the amazing Montessori materials into my lessons. I love how my third graders have been taught
to be independent thinkers and workers in their previous 4 years at the
Montessori school. This allows me to
serve as a facilitator (which studies show to be the most successful way of
teaching) and I love it. I have already
seen excitement for learning in the eyes of my students. We started off our year by thinking like
scientists and asking scientific questions.
My students are begging me to research the answers to our questions and
then share what they learned with their classmates. I cannot wait to get back to school tomorrow to
see all those shining faces, but I am thankful for the additional time to
prepare my lessons for the next few weeks.
