Year 12 looks a little different this time around!

After spending 4 years in a primary classroom and 8 years in Lower Elementary, I’m taking the leap into Upper Elementary!

This summer wasn’t just about moving furniture-it was about honoring a full transition. I spent the last few months relocating Maple Room to a beautiful new space, while completely reimagining Ocean Room for our Upper Elementary learners.

Behind these ‘Ocean Room Loading’ moments are hours of ordering, scrubbing, making materials, and deeply reflecting on the ‘why’ behind Montessori education. Moving classrooms after years reminds me that as guides, we never stop growing, adapting, and finding new ways to follow the child.

Upper Elementary, I’m almost ready for you. Let the journey begin!

Snail mail hits different. ✉️✨ There’s nothing like the joy of finding a handwritten note buried under a stack of bills and ads.

We can’t wait to see you all in our new classroom next month! Love you all so much!

As Montessorians, we share the same mission and vision of implementing Montessori with fidelity in public and private schools, creating more TEPs, working with state legislators towards aligning state education standards with Montessori curriculum and increasing community awareness and outreach.

I was proud to represent Regional Action Commission for Southwest Region and and be the voice of Montessori educators. Some important work has begun in Texas.

The week of ‘Where are you?’ texts comes to an end. Have you been on a work trip and get back home just to have withdrawals. We’ve had a full week of learning, collaboration, inspiration, reunions and more friendships. I love my Montessori squad! Thank you for this week. We are forever grateful! Until next year!

A journey that started as a sub… Tomorrow I am starting my 10th year at . This place is my second home and a true gift! Over the past 10 years as a guide, I have taught over 200 students, written numerous emails and newsletters, and have received outpouring love from my favorite humans, their parents and families, my coworkers and most of all my wonderful boss, mentor and friend . We’ve shared laughter, joy, tears, ups and downs AND a pandemic 😉.
Let’s start another important year with my sweet children. If we’ve crossed paths in any way Montessori, I humbly request you to please share how we met, leave a comment or just an emoji and help me start this joyful year with a bang❗️
