Our Classroom

I call my students Diamonds. You and your child are part of the Diamond family that has been growing for the last eighteen years. I teach Diamonds mathematics, reading, language arts, writing, science and social studies, in both fourth and fifth grade levels. Students will be able to move fluidly between the grade levels in their core subjects. Once a child is ready to move on, they simply do. For social studies and science, students are encouraged to learn the various topics on their grade level, but are free to delve into those topics as deeply as they wish, freely creating products that they are passionate about.
Montessori means freedom within limits. Students will be given increasingly more freedom to pursue topics of their choosing as they mature. Working together, we will make these the best years of elementary school. Some days will be hard, but I promise, we will look back at the years with pride in all that we accomplished as a team. You will be amazed at how much you will grow and change. Each of you have so much to offer the world, and I have the privilege of watching you discover what that is and work hard to develop it.
Can't wait for the first day of school!
