A snippet of my Montessori classroom. Some students are continuing to anchor their learning into the Division Board. Some students have moved away from the concrete to the abstract. Others are using their abstract thinking to complete work on Google Classroom.

Today, a student asked me if she could share a Google Slides presentation she made (all on her own time) about Lunar New Year. Love seeing students take on personal passion projects.

Today in math, students share the peg board to make arrays as a strategy to solve multiplication problems.
